UBS Sets a Target Price of HK$9.1 for Fosun
HONG KONG, July 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Fosun International Limited (HKEX stock code: 00656, "Fosun International") said that UBS has recently published a report on Fosun International. UBS believes that Fosun can effectively manage near-term financing risks and assigned Fosun a "neutral" rating with a 12-month target price of HK$9.1.
UBS pointed out that while refinancing risks are rising on China macro concerns, it believes Fosun should be able to effectively manage near-term refinancing risks through a slowdown in investments and an increase in asset disposals. Fosun has been able to refinance its onshore bonds with short term commercial papers and an offshore bond with asset disposals. UBS estimates that Fosun's non-core listed investments can cover its bond refinancing needs in the next 12 months; Fosun's execution in monetizing both listed and unlisted assets should alleviate market concerns on its liquidity position.
UBS sees that Fosun is currently trading at a 63% discount to its net asset value (NAV), which is largely attributed to China's macro concerns. UBS assigned Fosun International a 12-month target price of HK$9.1, representing an increase of approximately 26% compared to its closing price at HK$7.25 on 30 June.
In fact, S&P Global Ratings published a report in early June, maintaining "BB Stable" credit rating to Fosun amid the recent volatile market environment, demonstrating its affirmation on Fosun's efforts in debt management and endogenous growth strategy. On 23 June, S&P Global Ratings published another report, stating that Fosun has adequate resources to meet its upcoming debt maturities over the next six to 12 months. It believes the company could rely on asset monetization and stable banking relationships to manage its liquidity.
According to Fosun International's 2021 annual report, Fosun International is in a sound and healthy financial position. As of the end of 2021, the total debt to total capital ratio dropped to 53.8%; the average cost of debt was at a historically low of 4.6%; cash, bank balances and term deposits reached RMB96.78 billion. In terms of cash and debt management, Fosun has always adhered to the principle of proactive management of maturing debts and continuous optimization of debt structure, and has built financing capabilities with diversified financing channels and wide recognition from the market. The Group and its subsidiaries have established partnerships with more than 100 Chinese and foreign banks around the world and have signed strategic cooperation agreements with many international banks and multiple Chinese banks. Facing the volatility of the public market, Fosun made full use of its diversified financing channels to maintain stable liquidity.
Fosun has been steadfastly fulfilling its mission of "creating happier lives for families worldwide", strengthening its presence in four business segments: Health, Happiness, Wealth and Intelligent Manufacturing. It is also one of the few companies in China which has global operation and investment capabilities and has built up a solid technology and innovation capabilities. In the face of the volatile epidemic situation and many external uncertainties, Fosun maintained a stable leverage ratio, high risk tolerance with its multi-currency debts and stable debt maturity, maintaining a healthy financial position.
In the future, Fosun will protect itself against market risk with a diversified business portfolio, a global asset presence, and the "Profound Industry Operations + Industrial Investment" strategy, and will continue to adhere to strict financial and capital management systems, further consolidate the Company's capital foundation, and grasp opportunities amid global market fluctuations and changes, thereby making solid yet bold progress for its growth and development.

Despite the proposed induction of five new faces in the cabinet, there will still be three vacancies in Bhagwan Mann cabinet which can have a total of 18 ministers. Ten ministers were inducted in March this year, out of which Vijay Singla was removed on graft charges.
Two-time MLAs, including Sarabjit Kaur Nanuke who represents Jagraon, Master Budhram MLA Budhlada besides Baljinder Kaur were also lobbying for cabinet berths.

Nairobi — The High Court on Monday begun hearing the case filed by a petitioner who wants the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) not to print Unite Democratic Alliance (UDA) gubernatorial candidate Johnson Sakaja's name on the ballot papers.
This is after, Dennis Wahome petitioned the High Court to bar the electoral agency from printing ballot papers for Nairobi until the case is heard and determined.
Wahome had asked the court to temporarily block the commission from including Sakaja's name on the ballot paper because his degree from Team University, Uganda is not authentic.
IEBC Chairperson Wafula Chebukati declined to revoke Sakaja's clearance stating that the issue was deliberated upon by the Commission's disputes resolution tribunal that cleared him.
The petitioner wants the High Court to issue conservatory orders to block the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) from printing the ballot papers for Nairobi County until the case is heard and determined.
"THAT pending the hearing and determination of the Petition, this Honourable Court be pleased to grant a conservatory order restraining the 1st Respondent from printing ballot papers for the position of county Governor, Nairobi City County in the general elections scheduled for 9th August, 2022," read the court papers.
Wahome had filed a similar case at the Independent Disputes Resolutions Committee (IDRC) to challenging his clearance to run for office on grounds that his academic papers presented for clearance are fake, days after he was cleared by the electoral commission.
The Committee dismissed the petition citing lack of jurisdiction to probe his academic credentials as the Commission on University Education had already validated his degree. | https://allafrica.com/stories/202207040367.html | 2022-07-04T11:47:24Z | https://allafrica.com/stories/202207040367.html | true | 2 |

Solana-based liquidity protocol Crema Finance had more than $8.78 million worth of cryptocurrencies stolen from its platform in an attack over the weekend, developers said in a tweet.
Crema said it had suspended its smart contract after the exploit. The protocol allows liquidity providers to set specific price ranges, add single-sided liquidity and conduct range order trading. This makes for a sophisticated and decentralized trading platform.
“We've been closely working with several experienced security institutes and relevant organizations to track the hacker's fund movements,” the developers said in a tweet.
Value locked on Crema plunged to $3 million on Monday from over $12 million on Saturday following the exploit, data shows. Crema has seen trading volumes of $1.34 billion since its inception in January.
The attacker started by creating a fake tick account. A tick account is "a dedicated account that stores price tick data in CLMM,” the developers said, referring to Crema's market-making protocol. After that, the attacker exploited a command by writing the data on the fake account and circumventing security measures.
The attacker then used a flash loan to manipulate the prices of assets on liquidity pools. This, along with the false data entries, allowed the attacker to claim “a huge fee amount out from the pool.”
Flash loans allow traders to borrow unsecured loans from lenders by relying on smart contracts instead of third parties.
The stolen funds were swapped to 69422.9 solana (SOL) and 6,497,738 USD Coin (USDC). The Solana-based USDC was then bridged to the Ethereum network via Wormhole and swapped to 6,064 ether (ETH). These funds amount to over $8.5 million at current prices.
The attacker’s Ethereum address, 0x8021b2962dB803b73Aa874030B0B42c202E8458F as flagged by blockchain scanning tool Etherscan, had not moved the stolen funds or converted to other coins at writing time, the data show.

He made this known during a panel session last Wednesday, June 29, themed Bridge the Blue Finance Gap, in which he participated.
The panel discussed financing sustainable ocean-based economies in emerging markets, especially in Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS) solutions across the investment continuum.
He said it is important for the United Nations to make funding easily accessible for our people, particularly through simplified requirements and processes.
“Funding should not be based on the principle of mistrust by the financier meaning local communities are subjected to a rigorous compliance process, but on saving lives and communities and their environment. These people are already facing the prospect of displacement and the extinction of their communities and do not need the “red tape type” processes to secure much needed funding to secure their livelihood and communities.”
“That principle is a disadvantage and an obstacle to our local communities given that if a funder comes to a community, they would be a complete outsider to the locals having no relationship whatsoever with the people,” Special Envoy Kwa said.
He said they should not require people to fill all kinds of documentation, which is time consuming.
“Our ocean areas are in a dire situation of global warming and rising sea levels. And, with the current UN system, it takes about five years to access these funds after applying.
“While we are waiting for those funds and processes to be cleared, the environment is deteriorating.
He said “We should be talking about ways to ease up funding to be easily accessible for our people.
“We should look at sustainable ways of helping our locals progress.
“So, what we discussed is basically easily accessible finance that can create a sustainable livelihood, for our people,” Dr Kwa concluded. | https://www.looppng.com/png-news/dr-kwa-calls-access-ocean-fund-113983 | 2022-07-04T12:18:13Z | https://www.looppng.com/png-news/dr-kwa-calls-access-ocean-fund-113983 | true | 1 |

Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Child restraint systems (CRS) can be installed using the Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren (LATCH) system. Two different types of lower anchors (LA) are available on CRS in the United States: (1) traditional flexible webbing LA, or (2) rigid LA, which is similar to the European ISOFIX system. The objective of this study is to evaluate consumer usability of flexible vs. rigid LA on infant CRS bases. METHODS: Thirty adult volunteers were recruited to install one infant CRS base with flexible LA and one infant CRS base with rigid LA into two different vehicles apiece, for a total of four installations per participant. One vehicle had easily accessible LA hardware and the other vehicle had less accessible LA hardware. A Child Passenger Safety Technician (CPST) inspected each installation and recorded any misuse or errors. Participants were asked to share their opinions and preferences on the two types of LA via written survey and verbal interview. Outcome variables include the number of errors committed, consumer preference, and ease of use (measured by time spent on each installation and participant feedback) of each LA system. RESULTS: Rigid LA installations resulted in higher rates of correct installation compared to flexible LA (72% correct vs. 47% correct, χ2 = 7.761, p = 0.0053). Participants reported better physical ease-of-use and higher confidence with rigid LA compared to flexible (Likert scale with Wilcoxon signed rank test, two-tailed, for paired data: p = 0.0326 and p = 0.0023, respectively). Rigid LA was faster to install during users' second installation of each CRS compared to flexible (p = 0.0007) but was not faster during the first installation (p = 0.1165, matched-pair two-tailed t-tests). This indicates that each CRS required about the same amount of time for participants to familiarize themselves with the system, but once familiar, the rigid LA system was faster to install. Overall, 24/30 participants (80%) preferred rigid LA to flexible. Self-reported sociodemographic factors suggest that the participant sample was skewed toward highly-educated, white, native English speakers. CONCLUSIONS: The rigid LA system was preferred by this group of consumers for installation of the base of infant CRS. The lower rate of installation errors suggests that rigid LA may help reduce the reported high rates of incorrect LA installation in vehicles in the US.

Birmingham-born Leah Shutkever - who claims to hold a staggering 27 Guinness World Records – complete the Bicester Bean's huge food challenge last month.
She managed to eat of five eggs, five sausages, five rashers of bacon, five tomatoes, five hash browns and five black puddings, as well as five pieces of toast, five portions of beans and five portions of mushrooms.

And she did it all in just eight minutes and two seconds, smashing the Oxfordshire café's previous record of 12 minutes and 50 seconds, which was set just two weeks prior.
Leah, who is also a YouTube star, said: "The previous record was so good it made me nervous - I really wanted to beat it.
“It was a difficult challenge for the time scale that I had to eat it in - it was a huge bowl and there were a lot of beans!
“It certainly wasn't the biggest I've done - but it was challenging.
“I once did a 41 piece mega breakfast that was absolutely enormous - but it's all part of the job!"
Aly Clifton, owner of the restaurant, said he was “shocked” by how quickly Leah beat the challenge, and was also “blown away with how slim she is, how she made it look so easy and how lovely she is”.
Some of the other challenges Leah has completed involve consuming 20 chicken nuggets in one minute, and eating an entire Terry's Chocolate Orange in 57 seconds.
Leah exercises everyday and has been working full-time as a professional competitive eater for two years.
Despite the niche profession, she said: “There was a time when my brother and I were working out a lot, and we would have a cheat meal once a week.
"My brother would be doing these crazy eating challenges every week, and he would come back home all glum saying he had failed - every time!
"I just remember being absolutely baffled - we are known for being big eaters in our family.
"So, I decided to try one of the challenges he couldn't complete - a massive dessert challenge - and I set a ridiculous record of six minutes.
"The challenge had been undefeated until I did it and I can assure you I was as surprised as everyone else.
“It's been a long old while since my first challenge of me trying to avoid this becoming my job.”

Kate Hudson's brother, Oliver, posted a cheeky reply to a pic of his sister topless.
The mum-of-three, 43, shared a snap of her drinking tea with her long blonde hair covering her assets.
The stunning pic, taken in London, went down a storm the actress' famous pals, but Oliver wasn't quite as gushing.
The actor, 45, simply replied to the photo saying: "Nope..."
Ironically, Oliver boasts his own naked snap on Instagram in which he stands with his back to the camera exposing his bare bum.
Fans found his response "hilarious" with many praising the actor for his dry wit.
Kate and Oliver's parents are Hollywood star Goldie Hawn and musician Bill Hudson.
The Nashville actor has previously spoken about his approach to nudity telling People it had "never been a taboo" because he grew up in a "very open family".
“Even now with my kids, we’re just naked people. That’s just the way it is. I’m definitely comfortable with it," Oliver added.
The actor has three kids as does his sister Kate.
When asked who helps her overcome her demons, the stunning actress told the Mirror: “My kids. They test my inner demon every day… but my family keeps me grounded and focused.”
Kate, who lives in Los Angeles, regularly posts snaps of her brood on social media.
Her eldest son, Ryder, is from her marriage to Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson while second son Bingham is from her three-year engagement to Muse star Matt Bellamy.
In October 2018, the You, Me and Dupree star gave birth to daughter Rani, whose dad is musician and record company owner, Danny Fujikawa.
Kate never knew her own father, musician Bill Hudson, and once described their relationship as “a 41-year-old issue”.
She was raised by her mum, Goldie and her long-term partner actor, Kurt Russell.
Recalling her childhood, Kate said: “I had personal struggles or familial situations that were challenging.
“[They] kind of prepared me for my future and my success. I had a lot of personal trauma I never really allowed myself to be OK about, or recognise as being traumatic."
Despite her "trauma", Kate is still one of Hollywood's most sought after actresses.
To date she has starred in films including Nine, Fool's Gold and Bride Wars.

OVER-the-counter medication can be expensive.
Whether you're stocking up on anti-histamines or grabbing an emergency pack of paracetamol - it all adds up.
With the cost of living crisis hitting millions of families across the country, every penny counts.
Now, one doctor has revealed how you can save money on your next trip to the pharmacy, especially if you usually opt for branded products.
Dr Karan Rajan said whenever you purchase medication, you should make sure you look for the PL number.
This is the product licence number, which is a unique number of the package which helps identify it.
Posting online, he explained: "If you spot two different packets with the same PL number even if the packaging if completely different and one is branded and one is non-branded, the active ingredient, the formulation and the product is exactly the same.
"When a company develops a drug, it's given unique rights to sell it for a number of years, but once that term ends, any company can make it."
This means that the exact same ingredients are in medications that can sometimes cost double the price for the branded version.
For example, one of the most well-known ibuprofen brands costs around £2.29 for a pack of 16.
Most read in Health
If the PL number is the same on a supermarket or pharmacy version that costs as little as 55p though, you will be paying over the odds for the exact same medication.
In the clip, Dr Karan shows a pack of Sudafed, which costs around £4.49.
The medication is a nose and sinus pill, which helps you if you're congested and you're suffering with a cold.
But the same product, bought at own-brand level can cost around £2.99.
So it's worth checking the PL number - because if the cheaper version has the same number - it's just as good as the branded product.
If you regularly buy these sorts of products over the counter, then the tip could save you a lot of money.
Many GPs have been highlighting money-saving tips recently, as Brits' purse strings continue to tighten due to soaring prices.
Just last month Dr Zoe Williams revealed her little boy Lisbon had chickenpox.
She said that there was just a 70p trick that could help you relieve the pain your little one is suffering with - after many medications for the illness were out of stock due to a national shortage.
Dr Zoe said an oatmeal bath would help soothe their skin, with a bag of oats costing as little as 70p from Asda.
Dr Zoe said: "Oats have anti inflammatory properties and can soothe and reduce itching.
"Put a handful of oats in a sock/tights and place over the tap whilst you run the bath.
"The water should look cloudy. You can also dab the sock directly onto the spots in the bath." | https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/19082875/gp-money-saving-code-check-buying-over-counter-drugs/ | 2022-07-04T12:35:56Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/19082875/gp-money-saving-code-check-buying-over-counter-drugs/ | true | 3 |
Man City star Kevin De Bruyne ‘gets wasted’ on shots on holiday after soaking up sun on yacht in Ibiza
MANCHESTER CITY midfielder Kevin de Bruyne recently got "wasted" with his pals during a night out in Ibiza.
The Belgium international is currently enjoying a holiday on the Balearic island following a long and gruelling season.
And the City ace has seemingly been making the most of the Ibizan nights by enjoying a drink or two.
On Sunday, De Bruyne shared an Instagram reel of himself mentally gearing up to do another round of shots.
And the hilarious clip - which had "when your friends order another round of shots" emblazoned across it - had a famous Grand Theft Audio San Andreas Line dubbed over it.
The audio played: "Ah s**t, here we go again."
De Bruyne's accompanying caption read: "Best friends are the ones you get wasted with!"
Scores of the Belgian's followers commented on the video, including club team-mate Riyad Mahrez.
Mahrez wrote: "First time you need an assist."
Another of De Bruyne's followers said: "When 'let me talk' turns into 'let me have a shot.'"

And another said: "Channeling your inner [Jack] Grealish."
One remarked: Midfielder master class."
Another chimed in: "The GOAT midfielder."
De Bruyne hasn't just been knocking back shots with his pals during his time on the Spanish island.
The 31-year-old and his buddies were recently spotted swimming in the sea, which they jumped into off a luxury yacht.
De Bruyne and his Manchester City team-mates will begin their pre-season a fortnight on Thursday with a friendly with Mexican side Club America.
City's defence of the Premier League title will begin on August 7 with a trip to the London Stadium to take on West Ham.

Peacock has canceled its planned TV adaptation of bestselling and award-winning fantasy trilogy, The Green Bone Saga.
The Universal-owned streaming service revealed in 2020 that it had begun developing the show, which was due to be based on the first novel in the series, Jade City. Dave Kalstein, who'd most recently overseen Bourne spin-off Treadstone, and Breck Eisner, director of Vin Diesel-led fantasy adventure The Last Witch Hunter and many episodes of The Expanse, were in the charge overseeing the series.
However, The Green Bone Saga author Fonda J. Lee, revealed that Peacock executives have now changed their minds and will not be moving forward with their show.
Sad to share that after years in development, Peacock has decided not to move forward with the TV show of Jade City. It's a big disappointment. But we're looking for a new home for the project, and I have faith someone else will share the vision of the Kaul family onscreen.🤞June 30, 2022
As you can see from Lee's tweet above, the author does hold out hope that the project will be resurrected at another streaming service or by a US broadcaster, but nothing is in the works quite yet.
The book's fans, however, are up in arms about the cancelation, with many replying to Lee's message in outrage that the show can be axed.
I was looking forward to it so much 😔 I really hope it lands on another platform, I was kind of leery of Peacock handling production anyways (nothing personal against the specific producers or anything, moreso the company as a whole) pic.twitter.com/bMuKUTd8SqJune 30, 2022
I was really hoping to see this book adapted on screen. But, anyways, I'm sure a better production will seize the opportunity to make themselves great.July 1, 2022
Lee herself responded with good grace and jokingly added that she would no longer have to hold a Peacock subscription.
I'm touched by all the faith and enthusiasm; thank you so much, everyone. I will keep you posted. On the plus side, now I don't have to subscribe to Peacock!July 1, 2022
What is The Green Bone Saga?
A trilogy of novels, it began in 2017 with Jade City, with Jade War following in 2019, and finally Jade Legacy in 2021.
Set in a mythical world, but in a setting not unlike 1970s Hong Kong, the books take place in Janloon, which is more commonly known as Jade City.
The country is dominated by Jade, a precious stone that vastly enhances a warrior's capabilities if they possess it. Trade of the stone dominates the land, much like Spice in Dune, and the powerful Kaul family uses it to enhance their magical abilities and defend the island from foreign invasion, as well as hoarding the stone for themselves.
However, when a powerful new drug emerges that lets anyone wield the stone, a rival clan rises up and an all-out war is quickly on the horizon.
The series has been showered with awards recognition, with Jade City winning the World Fantasy Award in 2018, it was also nominated for a Nebula Award, which annually recognizes the best works of science fiction or fantasy published in the United States.
Jade War was nominated for both Dragon and Ignyte Awards, both of which are fantasy literary prizes, while the entire trilogy is up for the prestigious Hugo Award later this year. Past winners of that prize include James S. A. Corey's series of novels, The Expanse, which was then adapted for a hugely successful TV series, and Becky Chambers' Wayfarers series.
Analysis: Why didn't Peacock have the stone(s)?
A quick read of the story description we've given you and it's easy to surmise that Jade City would have been an expensive show to produce.
As well as that, the Universal-backed streamer has a lot of young adult fantasy already on its plate. It's about to release Vampire Academy, which brings to life Richelle Mead's novel of the same name. As well as that, there's a planned reboot of Battlestar Galactica, a big-budget adaptation of Victoria Aveyard's young adult series Red Queen, which is being overseen by Elizabeth Banks, and a take on Wild Cards, a series of science fiction superhero shared universe anthologies, which is overseen by George R. R. Martin.
It could well have been that Jade City got pushed off the plate by an abundance of other morsels, or things just got too expensive. We'll wait to see if Lee's trilogy finds a TV adaptation home elsewhere.

Fine Gael Senator Micheal Carrigy
Any future decisions made by Government on turf must be fully supported by Fine Gael Ministers, TDs and Senators, Senator Micheál Carrigy has said.
“Fine Gael is working across Government to ensure a fair resolution on the proposals for the sale and distribution of turf.
“We are working to protect the rights of people who cut and use turf across the country where it is heavily relied on as a fuel source.”
Senator Carrigy dismissed suggestions that future Government decisions on turf would be rushed through by Transport Minister Eamon Ryan during the Summer.
“There will be no decision agreed by Fine Gael on this issue until our parliamentary party, our Ministers, TDs, Senators and MEPs, have an opportunity to meet in person and discuss it. This is the position of our party leader, Leo Varadkar and we fully back him on it,” Senator Carrigy said.
“People have been cutting, selling, and buying turf for generations. It is an integral part of our way of life in many areas of rural Ireland.
“While we need to improve our air quality and protect public health, we must acknowledge the reality that the use of turf only contributes to a very small proportion of air quality problems.
“Turf use is on the decline and those who rely on it should not face any obstacles in sourcing or supplying it. Anyone who has spent a day in a bog with the midges knows, to cut, foot, collect, store and distribute sods of turf is back breaking as it is. Let’s not make it any harder.
“But let’s face facts too and facts spell out the reality here. The use of turf is needed now and will be needed into the future. There are no alternatives sources readily available to replace turf”, said Senator Carrigy

WASHINGTON — Hershel W. “Woody” Williams, the last remaining Medal of Honor recipient from World War II, will lie in honor at the U.S. Capitol, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Sunday.
A date and other details will be announced later, Pelosi and Schumer said in a joint statement.
“Woody Williams embodied the best of America: living a life of duty, honor and courage,” Pelosi said. Schumer said: “Woody Williams was an American hero who embodied the best of our country and the greatest generation.”
Williams, who died on Wednesday at 98, was a legend in his native West Virginia for his heroics under fire over several crucial hours at the battle for Iwo Jima. As a young Marine corporal, Williams went ahead of his unit in February 1945 and eliminated a series of Japanese machine gun positions. Facing small-arms fire, Williams fought for four hours, repeatedly returning to prepare demolition charges and obtain flamethrowers.
Later that year, the 22-year-old Williams received the Medal of Honor from President Harry Truman. The Medal of Honor is the nation’s highest award for military valor.
In remarks at a memorial Sunday in Charleston, West Virginia, U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin said Williams “never quit giving back.” That included raising money for gold star families — immediate family members of fallen service members — with an annual motorcycle ride.
“It’s raised hundreds of thousands of dollars,” Manchin said. He joked that “it’s not going to be stopping, because Woody would come after me in a heartbeat.”
Manchin, a West Virginia Democrat, said he will miss Williams’ phone calls, noting how Williams would always give him directions and to-do lists.
“I’ll miss him telling me how I’m supposed to vote. And when I didn’t, how I made a mistake,” Manchin said.
Gen. David H. Berger, commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps, said at the memorial that Williams always took exception to the notion that he accomplished that feat alone. He always acknowledged the other men on his team, some of whom never returned home.
“Woody may be the most genuine person I ever met,” Berger said, noting his unique combination of humility and humor. “He could make you laugh. He could make you care. That was his gift.”
Williams remained in the Marines after the war, serving a total of 20 years, before working for the Veterans Administration for 33 years as a veterans service representative. In 2018, the Huntington VA medical center was renamed in his honor, and the Navy commissioned a mobile base sea vessel in his name in 2020.
“He left an indelible mark on our Marine Corps,” Berger said. “As long as there are Marines, his legacy will live on.”
Manchin announced during his remarks that Williams would lie in state at the Rotunda, but Pelosi and Schumer said he would lie in honor. The distinction, according to the Architect of the Capitol, which oversees the building, is that government officials and military officers lie in state while private citizens lie in honor. | https://www.wwltv.com/article/news/nation-world/hershel-williams-to-lie-in-honor-at-us-capitol/507-11a1cd8a-9c71-4f87-a3eb-1a5b87345bf5 | 2022-07-04T12:42:31Z | https://www.wwltv.com/article/news/nation-world/hershel-williams-to-lie-in-honor-at-us-capitol/507-11a1cd8a-9c71-4f87-a3eb-1a5b87345bf5 | true | 37 |
Centre for Fiscal Transparency and Integrity Watch (CeFTIW) has called for measures to improve access to public information to promote good governance through transparency, integrity and accountability in the public sector.
The centre believed that such measures were necessary to strengthen existing initiatives on transparency and integrity which are the pillars that minimise acts of corruption.
The chairman of the board of CeFTIW, Angela Nworgu stated this during a capacity training for journalists in Abuja organised in collaboration with Bureau of Public Service Reforms (BPSR) and Centre for Journalism Innovation and Development on critical themes that are essential in advancing transparency, integrity and accountability in the public sector.
The capacity building workshop seeks ways to deepen the conversation on improving open governance and strengthening integrity mechanisms to stimulate good governance in Nigeria.
Declaring the event open, Mrs Nworgu said that “The organisation recognised the efforts of existing anti-corruption measures that have led to remarkable prosecutions but we identified the need for a lot more on the prevention side”.
The director-general, BPSR, Ibrahim Dasuki said relevant stakeholders need to support government initiatives around public service reforms and innovations that are designed to promote open government.
Also speaking, CeFTIW executive director, Umar Yakubu tasked journalists to leverage Freedom of Information Act and other acts to seek information and hold the government accountable for good governance. | https://leadership.ng/centre-seeks-improved-fiscal-transparency-in-public-sector/ | 2022-07-04T12:43:31Z | https://leadership.ng/centre-seeks-improved-fiscal-transparency-in-public-sector/ | true | 1 |
Four organisations join Noam Chomsky, Rajmohan Gandhi in demanding Umar Khalid's release from jail
Hindus for Human Rights, Indian American Muslim Council, Dalit Solidarity Forum and India Civil Watch International joined Chomsky and Gandhi.

NEW DELHI: Four international organisations, along with scholars Noam Chomsky and Rajmohan Gandhi, the grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, have condemned the "incarceration" of former Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) student Umar Khalid.
Hindus for Human Rights, Indian American Muslim Council, Dalit Solidarity Forum and India Civil Watch International joined Chomsky and Gandhi, in demanding the immediate release of Khalid, who was arrested on September 13, 2020 and has been in custody since then.
Chomsky, a renowned scholar-activist, and Gandhi, a research professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, issued video statements on Saturday condemning the incarceration of Khalid.
Khalid's case, Chomsky said in his recorded statement, "is one of many that shed a grim light on India's system of justice during a period of repression, and often violence, that has been visibly undermining free institutions. As part of the large-scale government effort to dismantle India's honourable tradition of secular democracy".
Gandhi highlighted Khalid's scholarly contributions as a doctoral student at the JNU, stating that "in (Khalid), India possesses one of its finest minds, reinforced by a sensitive conscience. This brilliant young son of India has now been silenced for 20 continuous months".
He alleged that Khalid's silencing is a "blotch on India's image" before the world.
"Every additional day of detention for Umar and for the others wrongfully detained, who number in the thousands, is a fresh blow against democracy in the world, against human dignity and against India's good name," Gandhi said.
A court here denied bail to Khalid in March in a case of a larger conspiracy in connection with the February 2020 Delhi riots, saying there were reasonable grounds to believe that the accusations against him were prima facie true.
Khalid has been booked under the anti-terror law, Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), and provisions of the Indian Penal Code for allegedly being one of the "masterminds" of the riots, which had left 53 people dead and over 700 injured. | https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2022/jul/04/four-organisations-join-noam-chomsky-rajmohan-gandhi-in-demanding-umar-khalids-release-from-jail-2472763.html | 2022-07-04T12:45:34Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2022/jul/04/four-organisations-join-noam-chomsky-rajmohan-gandhi-in-demanding-umar-khalids-release-from-jail-2472763.html | false | 5 |
For Minoli, it was a struggle to pick the perfect six.
In a preview clip teasing her audition, the judges express their shock at Minoli's decision to cook not one but six dishes for them. And despite putting six times the pressure on herself, Minoli said she was just trying to keep things "as simple as possible.
"I feel like that was very much the Sri Lankan side of me going, 'okay you're feeding some very important people, you can't just go in with one rice and one curry,'" Minoli told 10 play.
"They need to know how good Sri Lankan food is," she continued. "This was an opportunity for me to show what I eat at home with my mum, with my family, and with my housemates.
"There is no way in the world my mum would ever serve just some rice and one curry. It's all or nothing."
"I think it would have been harder for me to go in with just one side and one curry... my body just wouldn't let me do it I don't think," she added.
Not only did Minoli want to impress the judges but she also wanted to present a dish to them that really represented who she is now.
"It was the first thing that came to mind and I've learned to trust my gut instincts when cooking... it works out for me," she said.
The risk is that, by having so many elements to the dish, the judges will be looking for perfection across all six dishes, making her goal of winning an apron six times more difficult than most.
Having migrated to Australia with her family when she was six-years-old, Minoli said she fell in love with food simply because she loved eating. From eating whatever delicious creations her mum was making in the kitchen to buying whatever she could at the canteen at school, being able to discover new foods ignited a fire in her that still burns today.
"Even a hot dog, just thinking 'What is this?', it's a never-ending journey of learning and something that brings an exceptional amount of joy," she explained.
"Being in my mid-'30s I realised that being around food is something that makes me so happy and something that I've taken for granted in the past. I need to recognise that it is something I could possibly make a future with because I love it so much," Minoli said.
Working for an engineering consulting firm, Minoli would travel to the Northern Territory often where she re-discovered South Asian flavours due to the exceptional produce that grows in Darwin thanks to its tropical climate.
Rediscovering and falling in love with Sri Lankan food all over again, Minoli was encouraged to apply for MasterChef by one of her best friends.
"Cooking was something that I think I took for granted my whole life, it's just something I've done," she said. "it was quite scary to think about going on MasterChef but I was like, you know what? It's 2021... let's give it a go."
Though she's has a passion for Sri Lankan food and hopes to introduce Australia to the flavours of Sri Lankan cuisine, her travels around the world also inspired her. From Italian to Thai, when describing the kinds of food she loves to make Minoli paused.
"Basically yummy, yummy delicious food... is that too vague?" she said, laughing.
"I've grown up in Australia and I want that influence to come through, but really highlight how beautiful Sri Lankan food is," she continued.
"I really hope I get the opportunity to go through the whole MasterChef journey because I'm sure I'll learn so much from being there and then hopefully come out with a gorgeous Sri Lankan pop-up at the end of it!"

London (AFP) – Manchester United have agreed a deal in principle to sign Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen on a free transfer, according to reports on Monday.
United manager Erik ten Hag made the three-year contract offer to Eriksen after the Dane's impressive comeback with Brentford.
The 30-year-old is reported to have a verbal agreement with United and will officially complete his move to Old Trafford after a medical.
Eriksen's impending switch to United completes an incredible return after his brush with death last year.
He had a cardiac arrest on the pitch in Copenhagen while playing for Denmark at the European Championship and was forced to leave Inter Milan after recovering due to Serie A health regulations.
Eriksen, fitted with a implantable cardioverter defibrillator, proved his form and fitness during a loan spell at Brentford in the second half of last season.
He played 11 times in the Premier League for Brentford, scoring once and providing four assists.
Eriksen was also targeted by his former club Tottenham, but was impressed by Ten Hag after training with Ajax as part of his return to football following the cardiac arrest.
Ten Hag, who took charge at United in the close-season after leaving Ajax, is looking to revamp his new team after they finished a disappointing sixth in the Premier League last term.
United missed out on a place in this season's Champions League and could see Cristiano Ronaldo depart after the Portugal striker reportedly demanded a move to a team in Europe's elite club competition.

Lori Harvey is enjoying the sights and eats in New Orleans! The model and beauty mogul took to Instagram to share photos of her trip to The Big Easy and her carousel of photos looks delicious.
Harvey captioned her post on Sunday, "I love New Orleans food," alongside the salivating emoji. In the first photo, she is taking a bite out of a praline from Loretta's, a local pastry shop in the area. In the rest of the images, you see Harvey eating baked oysters, a variety of seafood and playing tourist in the French Quarter.
Lori was in the Birthplace of Jazz for the 2022 Essence Festival of Culture in New Orleans. She was a speaker at the yearly convention held at the Caesars Superdome.
Last month, Michael B. Jordan and Lori Harvey called it quits after just over a year together. A source told ET, at the time, that the pair "broke up recently" and cited being at "different stages in their lives" as the reason for the split.
"Lori and Michael broke up recently. They were at different stages in their lives," the source shared. "The two of them are trying to move on, but they're both heartbroken and upset."
The former couple made their red carpet debut at the Vanity Fair Oscars After-Party in March. Fast-forward to today, however, since news of the split was made public, both Harvey and Jordan have removed all photos of each other from their Instagram profiles.

Family holiday warning for parents of kids with a different surname to you
FAMILIES heading abroad this summer should be aware of the extra rules they must follow if their kids have different surnames from their parents.
While introduced to prevent child trafficking, it could result in unaware families facing additional procedures and even missing their flight.
Charity National Family Mediation (NFM)'s CEO Jane Robey warned that some parents also face additional problems if they don't agree on their child travelling.
She said: “For couples in conflict, passports for the children and travel to another country can also be a contentious topic, and for a whole host of reasons.
“When one parent feels particularly strongly about the issue, it’s not uncommon for them to refuse to approve a passport application, which inevitably leads to further disagreements.”
Here are four things to check before you head to the airport. if you have different surnames from your kids or you have split up.
1. Check what the procedures will be in advance
Check with your airline – they deal with this daily and will have their own specific requirements.
Check with your embassy - what applies for British children does not apply for other nationalities, regardless of whether they are travelling into or from the UK.
Check with the relevant embassy for the requirements of the country you'll be travelling to.
2. Bring any document that could prove the relationship with the child
Ensure you have relevant documents: passports, birth certificates and marriage certificates.
If you're travelling under your maiden name with children of a different surname, a marriage certificate alongside your passport will 'prove' who you are.
Most read in travel
3. Pack a consent letter
Travel consent letters demonstrate that the child in question has permission to travel abroad from parents who aren't accompanying them.
They're especially useful in situations where the parents are divorced or separated, and one parent wishes to take the child on holiday.
Consent letters are not a legal requirement in the UK, but they may be requested by immigration when entering or leaving a foreign country.
The letter should give as much detail as possible and be signed by whomever is NOT travelling, dated, witnessed and preferably notarised.
Carrying a consent letter does not guarantee that children will be allowed to enter or leave a country though, so double-check with the relevant embassies.
4. What should someone do if the parent can’t reach the father or mother
You'll need to apply to a court for permission to take a child abroad if you don't have permission from the other people with parental responsibility.
Brits applying for their child's first passport may run into issues if they are a single parent.
If divorced, both couples must be named on the passport form, and if this is not possible then it must be explained why. | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/travel/671146/holiday-kids-surname-different-parents/ | 2022-07-04T13:09:21Z | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/travel/671146/holiday-kids-surname-different-parents/ | true | 3 |
NEW YORK (AP) — Federal authorities are pushing back on R. Kelly’s claims that he was placed on suicide watch as a form of punishment last week after a judge sentenced him to 30 years behind bars for using his fame to sexually abuse young girls.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Brooklyn filed court papers late Saturday saying the disgraced R&B superstar remains on suicide watch “for his own safety” following a psychological assessment.
Kelly’s “current life circumstances undoubtedly bring emotional distress,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Melanie Speight wrote in a court filing.
“He is a convicted sex offender who has been sentenced to spend the next three decades in prison,” she added. “In the immediate future, he faces another federal criminal trial in Chicago for charges related to child pornography.”
Kelly’s attorney filed a lawsuit Friday alleging prison officials placed him on suicide watch at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center “solely for punitive purposes and because of his status as a high-profile inmate,” adding that Kelly has had no thoughts of harming himself.
“Nothing occurred during sentencing that came as a surprise to Mr. Kelly,” attorney Jennifer Bonjean wrote in the lawsuit. “While the conditions of suicide watch may be appropriate for individuals who are truly at risk of hurting themselves, they are cruel and unconstitutional under the Eighth Amendment for individuals who are not suicidal.”
Kelly, 55, didn’t give a statement and showed no reaction upon hearing his sentence, which also included a $100,000 fine.
The Grammy-winning, multiplatinum-selling songwriter was found guilty last year of racketeering and sex trafficking. He has denied wrongdoing, and he plans to appeal his conviction.
The U.S. Bureau of Prisons has been under heightened scrutiny since financier Jeffrey Epstein killed himself behind bars in 2019 while awaiting trial on charges he sexually abused girls as young as 14 and young women in New York and Florida in the early 2000s. | https://cw39.com/news/entertainment/ap-entertainment/feds-r-kelly-remains-on-suicide-watch-for-his-own-safety/ | 2022-07-04T13:12:25Z | https://cw39.com/news/entertainment/ap-entertainment/feds-r-kelly-remains-on-suicide-watch-for-his-own-safety/ | false | 27 |

WASHINGTON (AP) — More evidence is emerging in the House’s Jan. 6 investigation that lends support to recent testimony that President Donald Trump wanted to join an angry mob that marched to the Capitol where they rioted, a committee member said Sunday.
“There will be way more information and stay tuned,” said Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill.
The committee has been intensifying its yearlong investigation into the attack on Jan. 6, 2021, and Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., the committee’s vice chair, is making clear that criminal referrals to the Justice Department, including against Trump, could follow.
At least two more hearings are scheduled this month that aim to show how Trump illegally directed a violent mob toward the Capitol on Jan. 6, and then failed to take quick action to stop the attack once it began.
The committee also has been reviewing new documentary film footage of Trump’s final months in office, including interviews with Trump and members of his family.
Kinzinger, in a television interview, declined to disclose the new information he referred to and did not say who had provided it. He said many more details emerged after last week’s testimony from former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson and that nothing had changed the committee’s confidence in her credibility.
“There’s information I can’t say yet,” he said. “We certainly would say that Cassidy Hutchinson has testified under oath, we find her credible, and anybody that wants to cast disparagements on that, who were firsthand present, should also testify under oath and not through anonymous sources.”
In a separate interview, another committee member, Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said: “We are following additional leads. I think those leads will lead to new testimony.”
In Hutchinson’s appearance before the committee last week, Hutchinson painted a picture of Trump as an angry, defiant president who was trying to let armed supporters avoid security screenings at a rally on the morning of Jan. 6 to protest his 2020 election defeat to Democrat Joe Biden.
Legal experts have said Cassidy’s testimony is potentially problematic for Trump as federal prosecutors investigate potential criminal wrongdoing.
“There could be more than one criminal referral,” said Cheney in an interview that aired Sunday. She said the committee will decide later in the process whether to proceed.
Cassidy also recounted a conversation with Tony Ornato, Trump’s deputy chief of staff for operations, who, she testified, said Trump later grabbed at the steering wheel of the presidential SUV when the Secret Service refused to let him go to the Capitol after the rally.
That account was quickly disputed, however. Bobby Engel, the Secret Service agent who was driving Trump, and Ornato are willing to testify under oath that no agent was assaulted and Trump never lunged for the steering wheel, a person familiar with the matter said. The person would not discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
In recent days, the committee has subpoenaed former White House counsel Pat Cipollone and has been seeking more information from Ornato and Engel, who were previously interviewed by investigators.
Committee members hope Cipollone will come forward.
“He clearly has information about concerns about criminal violations, concerns about the president going to the Capitol that day, concerns about the chief of staff having blood on his hands if they didn’t do more to stop that violent attack on the Capitol,” Schiff said. “It’s hard to imagine someone more at the center of things.”
The committee has also been working on setting up an interview with Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, the conservative activist and wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. She was asked to speak to the committee after disclosures of her communications with Trump’s team in the run-up and day of the insurrection at the Capitol.
Kinzinger appeared on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Schiff was on CBS’ “Face the Nation” and Cheney appeared on ABC’s “This Week.”

Opposition unveils plans to part-finance three new gigafactories by 2025 and offer interest-free loans for drivers switching to EVs
Labour has provided more detail on its sweeping green infrastructure investment strategy, revealing plans to provide government support for at least three new gigafactories if it wins the next election.
The opposition yesterday set out plans to create at least 30,000 jobs in the electric vehicle (EV) supply chain through a commitment to part-finance the creation of three new, additional gigafactories by 2025.
The policy would form part of a multi-billion pound Climate Investment Pledge, which would also see Party introduce interest free loans both new and used EVs to make EV ownership more affordable for and accelerate the roll out of public charging points.
Labour pointed to last week's Climate Change Committee (CCC) progress report, which concluded the UK was not on track to meet its net zero goals and specifically warned that the country was at risk of failing to attract sufficient investment in the EV supply chain.
The CCC warned "it is unlikely that vehicle manufacturers will manufacture EVs in the UK… if battery manufacturing gigafactories aren't located in the UK".
The CCC report came in the same week as a report from auto industry trade body the SMMT, which similarly called on the government to increase support for the EV manufacturing sector if it wants to deliver on the target to end sales of new petrol and diesel cars by 2030.
The government has signalled its support for a number of new gigafactories in the UK, with agreement reached earlier this year to support Britishvolt's plans to build a major new battery factory in north east England.
But Labour said more action was required to fast track the development of the EV supply chain.
"Labour's plans will bring down bills, create jobs and help achieve net zero," said Shadow Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds. "The Conservatives' failure to harness the potential of our net zero transition and grow our economy risks British industries losing out to competitors abroad. A Labour Government will re-energise Britain's economy by seizing the opportunities of the future." | https://www.businessgreen.com/news/4052310/labour-revs-plans-electric-vehicle-jobs | 2022-07-04T13:16:02Z | https://www.businessgreen.com/news/4052310/labour-revs-plans-electric-vehicle-jobs | true | 1 |
Beauty fans rave about Aldi’s £4.99 tanning drops that are BETTER than £30 ones
TANNING drops can cost upwards of £30.
But one beauty fan claims to have found a budget dupe for her much-loved designer drops, and they cost just £4.99.
Hayley Dawson took to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook to share her Aldi find, posting a picture of the Lacura luxury illuminating tan drops in light/medium.
"Tan drops £4.99 Aldi," Hayley wrote.
"My usual tan drops cost £30 and these are much better! (in my opinion)."
Another tan fan took to the comments section to rave about the drops as well.
"I saw these today, tried them and was raving about them to my friend," Jade Booth wrote.
"They're amazing! I’ve used tan luxe before (priced about £18/£22) they looked very similar packaging so thought I’d try them.
"I’d say they work even faster than the normal drops! Highly recommend."
"Ooh these may just blow my tropic ones out of the water!" another added.

Others raved about the tanning drops in reviews on the Aldi website.
"Great drop, a fraction of the price of others on the market," one wrote.
"Mix with moisturiser to build up colour. My skin is sensitive, particularly around the eyes, but I had no reaction to the product."
"I have been looking to buy a face tanning oil for a while but most are very expensive or they don't give much colour," another added.
"I'm very pale and need some colour on my face but hate using dark foundation. This oil is absolutely brilliant.
"Two drops added to moisturising cream day and night gave a lovely warm glow.
"I am absolutely thrilled with the result. The cost of this is £4.99! An absolute bargain." | https://www.the-sun.com/lifestyle/5697646/beauty-fans-rave-aldi-tanning-drops-better-designer-ones/ | 2022-07-04T13:19:10Z | https://www.the-sun.com/lifestyle/5697646/beauty-fans-rave-aldi-tanning-drops-better-designer-ones/ | false | 4 |
As the UK faces a massive jump in Covid cases, health officials give their first public backing for an Omicron-specific booster which will be made available in Autumn. The booster jab is set to “increase and extend” protection from covid as cases jump by a third in just one week.
GPs in Britain have been told that the NHS is preparing to start its booster campaign on September 1 as the Office for National Statistics (ONS) reveals that it estimates around 2.3 million people currently have the disease. Officials are interested in using Moderna’s new vaccine as part of the new public health campaign, The Telegraph reports.
It is not clear yet how the new booster will be rolled out with the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) recommending people over the age of 65 get the jab, while the chief medical officer of Moderna has suggested that everyone, including children, should get it.
READ MORE: Top new symptom in Covid patients discovered as cases skyrocket in London
According to the pharmaceutical firm, the new jab is five times more effective against the Omicron variant than the original vaccine, with millions of doses of the boost already in production. Dr Paul Burton, chief medical officer at Moderna, said they have received “definite interest” from the UK in purchasing its new vaccine.
Pressure is piling on an already overwhelmed NHS which is experiencing three times the amount of daily Covid hospital admissions in the last month to around 1,200. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has not ruled out more lockdowns if a deadly variant of the virus emerges back in April.
Although Moderna has claimed its new vaccine is so effective that it would only need to be had annually, some doctors have questioned its efficacy. Dr Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and member of the FDA's Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee, wrote that he wanted to see more proof of the new vaccine's protection benefits before governments heavily invest in them.
Pfizer and Moderna have made claims that their booster will have significantly better protection increasing it by twofold, but Offit is not convinced. He wrote that there needs to be more data to back up the claims: “Moderna and Pfizer executives have claimed that the Omicron vaccines will be protective for longer. That may be true, but how long is longer? A few weeks? A month or two?”

President Joe Biden’s border with Mexico is the deadliest land crossing in the world, according to a United Nations group, the International Organization for Migration.
“More than 1,238 lives have been lost during migration in the [north, central and south] Americas in 2021, among them at least 51 children,” said the group’s July 1 report.
“At least 728 of these deaths occurred on the United States-Mexico border crossing, making this the deadliest land crossing in the world,” said the IOM statement, which added:
“The number of deaths on the United States-Mexico border last year is significantly higher than in any year prior, even before COVID-19,” said Edwin Viales, author of the new IOM report on migrants in the Americas in 2021. “Yet, this number remains an undercount.”
The record number of deaths reflects the mass migration up to the border — where Biden’s border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas, is dangling work permits and jobs to more than a million foreigners.
In 2020, one-third fewer people died throughout North, Central, and South America when President Donald Trump rejected illegal migration, according to the report’s data.

A mild to warm July Fourth on tap
Temperatures are warming a tad, just in time for the holiday. Fourth of July temperatures will be in the 70s on the coast, and in the 80s inland.
Monday is serving as a transition day. The trough is departing and onshore flow is decreasing. The marine layer may inhibit some firework viewing on the Central Coast. Firework smoke may get caught under the clouds, causing haze overnight.
Sundowner winds will keep the South Coast clearer. There is a wind advisory from 6:00 pm Monday until 6:00 am Tuesday on the Southwest Coast and West Santa Ynez Range with gusts up to 50 mph.
Temperatures will warm up in the latter part of the week as high pressure builds from the east. | https://keyt.com/weather/local-forecast/2022/07/04/a-mild-to-warm-july-fourth-on-tap/ | 2022-07-04T13:20:18Z | https://keyt.com/weather/local-forecast/2022/07/04/a-mild-to-warm-july-fourth-on-tap/ | true | null |
Lebanon PM chides unofficial moves in Israel row after Hezbollah sends drones
Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
BEIRUT, July 4 (Reuters) - Lebanon's prime minister on Monday criticised as risky and unacceptable any unofficial dealings over its sea border row with Israel, after the powerful Hezbollah movement sent three drones towards an Israeli gas rig that were shot down.
Hezbollah launched its operation on Saturday following long-standing but so far fruitless U.S.-mediated efforts to agree on a maritime border between the two countries near an area where Israel has made large natural gas discoveries.
"Lebanon considers that any action outside the framework of the state's responsibility and the diplomatic context in which the negotiations are happening is unacceptable and exposes (Lebanon) to unnecessary risks," a statement by the office of Prime Minister designate Najib Mikati office said.

The statement was issued following a meeting between Mikati and Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib.
The statement called for "everyone, without exception" to stand behind the Lebanese state in the negotiation process, which it said had reached "advanced stages."
Hezbollah said on Saturday the drones, launched towards the Karish gas field in waters claimed by both countries, had successfully carried out a reconnaissance mission and said "the message was delivered."
The Israeli military said it had intercepted the drones, the first time an Israeli naval ship had downed an incoming target.
Israeli Defence Minister Benny Gantz said after the incident that Hezbollah was "preventing the state of Lebanon from reaching an agreement regarding maritime borders."

Qualifying top scorers: Fiamma, Mirari Uria 5
Previous best: Winners x 3 (2004, 2017, 2018)
Group stage: Two wins from their first two Group A games - vs. Italy and the hosts - ensured Pedro López's side went into their final match against France with a semi-final spot already secured. A 1-1 draw clinched top spot in the section, and - with nine goals - Spain were the group-stage top scorers.
Sweden - Group B runners-up
Round 1: Group A2 runners-up (W2-1 vs Iceland, W4-0 vs Serbia, L0-1 vs France)

Previous best: Winners x 3 (1999, 2012, 2015)
Group stage: Impressive victories against Germany and England put Caroline Sjöblom's team in a strong position ahead of their remaining group game with Norway.

France - Group A runners-up
Round 1: Group A2 winners (W2-0 vs Serbia, W2-0 vs Iceland, W1-0 vs Sweden)
Round 2: Group A7 winners (W3-0 vs Greece, W3-0 vs Republic of Ireland, W5-1 vs Czech Republic)

Group stage: The opening-game defeat of the Czech Republic was followed by a point against Italy where Sandrine Ringler's team were pegged back late on, denying them early semi-final qualification. Another draw - against Spain - saw the 2019 winners through, however.

New York’s ‘Massive Resistance’ to the Supreme Court
Albany passes a law that willfully defies the ruling that the right to bear arms extends beyond the home.
When the Supreme Court ruled in 1954 that segregated schools were illegal, many politicians in the South refused to obey. In Virginia opponents of the Court’s decision proudly called this “massive resistance,” and a decade of social strife followed. These days the massive resistance is on the political left, as exemplified by New York state’s new gun law that defies the Supreme Court’s late June ruling solidifying individual gun rights.
The New York Legislature appears to have paid little heed to the High Court’s ruling that overturned its gun-licensing regime in New York State Rifle & Pistol Assn. v. Bruen. Prodded by Gov. Kathy Hochul, the state Senate (43-20) and Assembly (91-51) voted last week to pass a new gun law that ignores Justice Clarence Thomas’s majority opinion.
Gov. Hochul boasted shortly after the ruling came down that the state would do this, having had barely enough time to read it, much less digest its legal implications. This will probably turn out to be a legal mistake, since challengers to the new law will cite her comments as a sign that the state made no attempt to follow the Court’s commands.
The High Court ruled in Bruen that the right to bear arms extends outside the home for self-defense. The new law seeks to vitiate this right by exploiting a passage in the opinion that allows gun restrictions in “sensitive places,” such as schools and government buildings.
Bruen doesn’t define sensitive places with much specificity. But the majority’s 6-3 opinion warns that “expanding the category of ‘sensitive places’ simply to all places of public congregation that are not isolated from law enforcement defines the category of ‘sensitive places’ far too broadly” and would “eviscerate the general right to publicly carry arms for self-defense.”
The new New York statute ignores this clear direction. It defines sensitive places to include airports, bars and restaurants that serve alcohol, courthouses, day-care facilities, playgrounds, parks, zoos, schools, entertainment venues, government buildings, houses of worship, libraries, public demonstrations and rallies, public transportation including subways and buses, and even Times Square.
The law also deems “no carry” as the default on private property unless declared permissible by the owners. Private property owners who allow concealed carry will have to publicly display this in signs, which may have free-speech implications.
All of this goes a long way to defining most of New York City as off-limits to concealed carry. Subways are increasingly dangerous because of illegal guns and lax law enforcement, but passengers won’t be able to protect themselves with a legal gun. Walking with a gun on the streets will be illegal if you wander into Central Park or public squares where civilians are assaulted too often.
The law also defines what it means to have the “good moral character” required to obtain a gun permit. A New York Senate press release says this means having the “essential character, temperament, and judgment necessary to be entrusted with a weapon.” This will presumably be in the eye of the bureaucratic beholder. It gives too much discretion to the government to deny a fundamental right, which is one reason the Court struck down the state’s licensing regime in Bruen.
All of this looks like a willful attempt to defy a Supreme Court ruling. The same progressives appalled when Southern politicians stood in the schoolhouse door to block racial integration are now standing in the licensing office to prevent New Yorkers from exercising their constitutional right to bear arms. That many of these New Yorkers will be minorities seeking to protect themselves in high-crime neighborhoods doesn’t seem to matter to the massive resisters who run New York.

Health Canada Approves the Use of CIBINQO (abrocitinib) for the Treatment of Patients 12+ With Moderate-to-Severe Atopic Dermatitis
KIRKLAND, QC , July 4, 2022 /CNW/ - Pfizer Canada announces today that Health Canada has approved CIBINQO® (abrocitinib) for the treatment of patients 12 years and older with refractory moderate to severe atopic dermatitis, including the relief of pruritus, who have had an inadequate response to other systemic drugs, (e.g. steroid or biologic), or for whom these treatments are not advisable. CIBINQO can be used with or without medicated topical therapies for atopic dermatitis.
Atopic dermatitis, the most common chronic inflammatory skin disease, is often characterized by inflammation of the skin and skin barrier defect and is often accompanied by intense itching.1,2 In addition to physical symptoms such as broken skin, widespread dryness, incessant itching and redness, extensive skin thickening, oozing and cracking,1,2 those with moderate to severe AD often experience psycho-social challenges like anxiety, sleep loss and depression.1 Additionally, those with AD are more likely to develop related conditions such as asthma and infections that can lead to hospitalization in severe cases.3 With the significant psycho-social effects AD has on its patients, many Canadian sufferers are in need of mental health resources and have a desire to connect with peers for additional support.
"The physical burden of AD can be relentless and demanding with persistent itching and scratching, skin pain and barrier damage making one susceptible to infections," says Dr. Melinda Gooderham, dermatologist and medical director at Skin Centre for Dermatology in Peterborough, ON and assistant professor at Queen's University. "Without proper treatment, the symptoms can become overwhelming and negatively impact patients sleeping habits and overall quality of life."
While often thought of as a childhood disease, it is estimated that 40% of AD patients will live with the condition throughout adulthood.4
"Atopic dermatitis can be a debilitating condition that goes well beyond dry, itchy skin – it places a considerable burden on sufferers and their families," says Amanda Cresswell-Melville, Executive Director of the Eczema Society of Canada. "This condition can be very challenging to manage, and these challenges are multi-faceted. The development of new treatments brings hope."
"Pfizer Canada understands the significant challenges in managing chronic skin conditions," says Frederic Lavoie, Inflammation & Immunology Lead, Pfizer Canada. "We know that itch is frequently reported as the most bothersome symptom of AD,2 and we are committed to helping Canadians living with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis minimize the impacts of their condition on their daily lives."

Manchester City have completed the signing of midfielder Kalvin Phillips from Leeds on a six-year contract, the Premier League champions have announced.
Manchester City have completed the signing of midfielder Kalvin Phillips from Leeds on a six-year contract, the Premier League champions have announced.
City agreed a basic fee of £42million with Leeds for the England international last month, with a potential further £3m to be added in bonuses.
Phillips, who came through the youth ranks at Leeds, switches to the Etihad Stadium after making 235 appearances for his hometown club over the past eight seasons.
Phillips said: “I am absolutely delighted to have joined Manchester City.
“City have again proved to be the best team in the country with an amazing squad and a manager in Pep Guardiola who is rightly considered to be the finest in the world.
“To be able to play under Pep and learn from him and his coaching staff as well as be part of such a fantastic squad is a prospect that I am incredibly excited about
“City are a world-class club with world-class staff and facilities and it’s a dream come true to have joined the club.”
Phillips is City’s fourth new arrival of the summer after the signings of Erling Haaland, Stefan Ortega Moreno and Julian Alvarez.
Phillips rose to prominence as Leeds won promotion to the Premier League in 2020 and went on to establish himself in the top flight. He then played a key role for England as they reached the final of Euro 2020 last year.
City director of football Txiki Begiristain said: “We are absolutely delighted to be able to welcome Kalvin to Manchester City.
“He is a player that we have long admired, and at both domestic and international level, he has proved his fantastic ability and quality over the past few seasons.
“We feel he will be a superb addition to our squad and that he will complement our game perfectly.”
The move was also confirmed by Leeds, who thanked Phillips for his long service.
A statement read: “No words can thank Kalvin enough for his efforts whilst at the club and we wish him nothing but success in the future.
“Kalvin inspired so many people in the city, not only for what he did on the pitch, but also for the work he did in the local community.
“He will always be a champion in Leeds, remembered for playing his part in getting the club back to where it belongs and will always be welcome at Elland Road.”
Phillips issued a further statement in which he paid tribute to Leeds, particularly managers Marcelo Bielsa and Jesse Marsch, and the fans.
He described Leeds as “one of the best clubs on Earth” and that playing for them was a dream and a privilege.
He wrote: “I cannot mention Leeds without mentioning one special person – Marcelo. The best manager I have ever come across. He was a man that gave the club life, he gave the players and everyone involved in the club belief that we were good enough to return to the Premier League after 16 years.”
“And now to Jesse, what an unbelievable manager you are, but what an even better person. You came into this club and gave every single player confidence and belief in a very difficult season and that’s what kept us in the league.”
To the supporters, he added: “I hope you guys understand my decision and will accept that I only want to chase my dreams and test myself against and with the best teams and best players on the planet.
“As a young kid I had so many dreams and still do… but playing for you was the one I will never forget. You are the best fans in the world.”
Leeds later announced the arrival of midfielder Darko Gyabi from City for an undisclosed fee on a four-year deal.

A CAR dealer has built up an £80million collection of cars for sale after starting just seven months ago as a hobby.
His dealership is crammed full of the most expensive supercars in the world, including one Porsche that is up for £13million alone.
Manager Ali Pacino shows off his Dubai dealership called F1rst Motors to YouTuber Enes Yilmazer in a video posted on his channel.
Pacino reveals that he and his friends used to buy a few cars and wanted to live their passion by selling them to people.
From idea to reality, it took just three months and they had a hand in designing everything including spending £350,000 on the lights for the showroom alone.
And dealing with some of the world's wealthiest people means there isn't a Ford Focus or Vauxhall Astra to be found.
Most read in Motors
In fact, one of the cars he has for sale is priced at around £13million.
It's a Porsche GT1 which is road legal but is essentially a race car for the road and is easily the most expensive Porsche money can buy.
Just 23 road GT1s were ever made and Pacino explains that 70% of them have been crashed at some point, but not this one.
This one has 6,000 kilometers on the clock and has only ever had one owner, hence the price. It can do 0-60mph in 3.6 seconds and go on to 194mph.
Sat next to it is a McLaren Speedtail, which is the successor to the infamous McLaren F1.
Just 106 Speedtails were made, it has three seats inside, its engine makes 1070hp and it can go 250mph. This one will set you back around £4million.
And as the tour goes on, more crazily expensive cars are revealed.
There's a Lamborghini Sian that's already been sold in one-off yellow for £3.5million sitting next to a Bugatti Divo that you can drive away for £7.5million.
Ali admits he's already sold two Divos, though, so there are clearly no problems with his prices.
He also reckons that are 10 Divos in Dubai alone, giving you an idea of the concentration of wealth in this desert city.
And as the tour nears the end, there's still time to have a look at a £1.5million Porsche 918 Spyder of which fewer than 200 have been made. | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/motors/9107097/im-a-car-dealer-cars-showroom-80million/ | 2022-07-04T13:36:55Z | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/motors/9107097/im-a-car-dealer-cars-showroom-80million/ | false | 4 |
9 signs the person you’re dating is right for you, according to experts
‘They offer you their undivided attention,’ says Kate Moyle
Relationships are hard work. Once you’ve moved past the initial period of infatuation – often referred to as “the honeymoon phase” – reality sinks in, and you start to get a deeper sense of who someone is and whether or not they might be right for you.
But the signs can be difficult to identify, particularly if you’ve never been a long-term relationship before.
How much should you be willing to sacrifice for the other person? Does it matter if your interests don’t align? And what about if you argue quite a lot?
The Independent spoke to relationship experts to identify nine signs that the person you’re dating is right for you.
You can meet in the middle
The key to any successful relationship is compromise, says Kate Moyle, relationship psychotherapist and host of The Sexual Wellness Sessions podcast.
“It’s always going to be a tussle between the individual needs of those involved, and we shouldn’t expect to be perfectly aligned or agreed on everything.”
The way you are able to compromise and negotiate with a partner should be a key indicator of how well suited you are.
If you find it easy to meet in the middle when you are in disagreement about something, you know your partner is a keeper.
They make you feel good about yourself
The right person for you will empower you to be your most confident self, says dating coach James Preece.
“They’ll reassure you, pay compliments and let you know how amazing you are,” he adds.
Wave goodbye to partners who have you constantly questioning your thoughts and appearance, that’s a clear red flag something isn’t right.
A good partner wants you to be happy and not to doubt yourself. “If you start to believe it too then you are never going to need to question anything or doubt yourself,” Preece adds.
They will be a good listener
A good partner will listen attentively to everything you have to say, regardless of how boring it might seem to you.
“It might mean you’re listening to them ranting about the flaws in your work colleagues for the majority of an evening, but it’s important for them to feel heard and listened to,” says Moyle.
“The ability to hear each other, and to give the other space to feel heard, even if the content of the discussion isn’t of interest to us as an individual, shows that person that they are worthy of our time and attention.”
You have similar core values
You don’t need to have the exact same interests as a potential long-term partner. In fact, sometimes it helps to have completely different ones – it gives you something to talk about.
But Preece stresses that if you want a long-term relationship with someone, you must make sure you are both going in the same direction in terms of your life goals and your core values.
“You are a team and need to be on the same page,” he says. “This requires you both aligning on what’s important to you in life.”
It might be your views on children, where you want to live, or simply how you choose to live your life. Whatever it may be, if it’s important to you, it should be important to your partner too.
You have healthy discussions when you disagree
Arguments are not necessarily a bad thing in a relationship. In fact, depending on how you handle them, they can be integral to the longevity of a partnership, says Moyle.
“Every discussion doesn’t have to be an argument,” she explains. “But with the right person, you should be able to express opposing or different views without it causing relationship breakdown or fractures.
“You should learn to validate each other’s perspectives, even if as individuals they don’t match up.”
This shows you are celebrating each other as individuals, Moyle explains, and is good practice for being able to discuss life challenges and situations that will arise.
You aren’t afraid to tell them what’s on your mind
When you are with the right person, there is no judgment, says Preece. Or at least there shouldn’t be.
“You should feel free to be yourself and show all sides of your personality,” he adds.
“If something is on your mind, you prefer to get it out in the open quickly rather than bottling it up.
“The best thing is that when this happens with someone who is good for you, they will be able to listen and help when you have a problem.”
They offer you their undivided attention
There’s nothing worse than being in the middle of speaking to someone and noticing they’re scrolling through Instagram.
The right partner won’t do that, says Moyle. “They will be completely present in your company, which is an important part of human connection and demonstrates our value to that person.
“So often we are distracted by tech, screens and notifications. But attention plays a big part in forming meaningful connections.”
Your friends and family love them
It might sound obvious, but if your loved ones get on swimmingly with the person you’re dating, it’s usually a pretty good sign.
“The people around you are going to be a great judge of character and probably know you better than you know yourself,” says Preece.
“It’s normal for them to be protective and initially suspicious of the people you start dating.
“If they are your partner’s biggest fans then you know you have picked a good one.”
They do little things for you
A gesture needn’t be grand to be romantic. In fact, sometimes it’s the small and subtle gestures that mean the most.
“You don’t have to spend a lot of money or spoil your partner rotten for them to know that you are thinking of them,” says Moyle.
“It could be that cup of tea in bed in the morning, cooking dinner when they know you have had a long day, or an affectionate text.”
Even simply reaching out for your hand can be a meaningful gesture. If you’re dating someone who does these things, it’s usually a good sign that they care for you deeply.

BANGKOK (AP) — Myanmar's military government on Monday hosted the first high-level regional meeting since the army took power last year with China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi and counterparts from Mekong Delta nations.
State broadcaster MRTV reported that Wang met with his colleagues from Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam at the Lancang-Mekong Cooperation group meeting held under the theme “Solidarity for Peace and Prosperity” in the central city of Bagan, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The TV report showed Wang and the other foreign ministers bumping elbows in a show of solidarity before the start of the meeting, but did not provide further details.
The grouping is a Chinese-led initiative that includes the countries of the Mekong Delta, a potential source of regional tensions due to an increasing number of hydroelectric projects that are altering the flow and raising concerns of ecological damage. China has built 10 dams along the upper stretch of the Mekong, the part it calls the Lancang.
China has been criticized for the dams upstream on the Mekong River which affect water levels and downstream fisheries that are important to several Southeast Asian nations’ economies.
Military government spokesman Maj. Gen. Zaw Min Tun said last Friday that the ministers were expected to sign several agreements. He said that the presence of the foreign ministers was a recognition of Myanmar’s sovereignty and its government.
China is Myanmar’s biggest trading partner and an old ally. Beijing has invested billions of dollars in Myanmar’s mines, oil and gas pipelines and other infrastructure and is its major arms supplier, together like Russia.
Many in Myanmar suspect China of supporting the military takeover, and Beijing has refused to condemn the army’s power grab. China says it follows a policy of non-interference in other countries’ affairs.
Myanmar's shadow National Unity Government, which opposes the ruling military council, protested the Bagan meeting, saying any such efforts in partnership with Myanmar’s military violate the will of the people and undermine community building.
It said that holding the meeting in Myanmar is in direct opposition to a peace plan by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. Myanmar's rulers have stymied ASEAN's efforts to organize a meeting with ousted civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who was recently moved to solitary detention.
Suu Kyi's ouster in February 2021 triggering widespread peaceful protests that soon erupted into armed resistance, and the country slipped into what some U.N. experts characterize as a civil war.
A statement by China’s Foreign Affairs Ministry said that Wang met Sunday with Cambodian Foreign Minister Prak Sokhonn — who is also the ASEAN special envoy to Myanmar.
The statement said Wang told Prak Sokhonn that China expects to work with ASEAN to push Myanmar in pursuit of political reconciliation and encourage it to restart the democratic transition process and realize the vision of returning power to the people. It said that China supports Myanmar in exploring the development path that suits its own national conditions.
The state-run newspaper Myanma Alinn Daily reported that Wang also met Sunday with Myanmar Foreign Minister Wunna Maung Lwin to discuss the implementation of bilateral projects and closer collaboration.
Wang told Wunna Maung Lwin that China will assist Myanmar in safeguarding its legitimate interests and national dignity in the international arena, according to China’s official Xinhua News Agency. | https://www.thehour.com/news/article/Myanmar-hosts-1st-regional-meeting-since-army-17283284.php | 2022-07-04T13:47:19Z | https://www.thehour.com/news/article/Myanmar-hosts-1st-regional-meeting-since-army-17283284.php | false | 12 |

A risk-off tone sent US markets lower overnight, a move that is likely to extend into today’s Asia-Pacific trading session. The Nasdaq-100 Index (NDX) fell 0.81% in New York trading. The drop in technology stocks followed encouraging data out of the United States that showed the demand for goods across manufacturers remains strong.
Bitcoin prices fell too likely as a result of the broader pullback in market sentiment. In an interview, SEC Chair Gary Gensler labeled Bitcoin as a commodity. That would suggest that Bitcoin may better fall under the regulatory scrutiny of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Mr. Gensler made a clear distinction that he does not consider other cryptocurrencies to be a commodity, however.
Asian markets traded mostly higher on Monday, brushing off a report out of China that showed a drop in profits for industrial firms. The drop for May, however, was less severe than the prior month, crossing the wires at -6.5% compared to -8.5% in April. Increased profits from higher energy costs likely aided firms that produce gasoline and other energy-derived products.
Copper and iron ore prices moved higher despite Monday’s Chinese economic data. That is likely due to comments from the People’s Bank of China’s Governor Yi Gang. Mr. Gang stated, in a television interview, that “Monetary policy will continue to be accommodative to support economic recovery in an aggregate sense.” That statement appeared to encourage some bidding across the industrial metals space.
Elsewhere, oil prices moved higher across the WTI and Brent crude benchmarks. The G7 leaders, currently meeting in German, are said to be on the verge of announcing a plan to cap the price of Russian oil while still allowing it to be sold to major buyers like China and India. That plan would aim to hit Russia’s oil coffers while still lowering the price of oil on the global market. Details are expected as soon as tonight.

Bitcoin prices fell for a second session, but losses were moderate compared to the selling seen earlier this month. The 20,000 psychological level remains a key level of potential support should prices continue to fall. A rebound may see the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) step in as resistance. The MACD oscillator flashed a bullish signal earlier this week, crossing above its signal line.

Rafael Nadal returns to action on Day 8 at Wimbledon with the Spaniard up against Dutch player and 21st seed Botic van de Zandschulp. There is plenty more to look forward to before that on Centre Court with Nick Kyrgios looking to put the bitter third-round match against Stefanos Tsitsipas and a $4,000 fine behind him when he faces the USA’s Brandon Nakashima.
The last remaining Grand Slam winner in the women’s singles is Simona Halep and the Romanian, a champion here in 2019, battles fourth seed Paula Badosa, with the Spaniard able to match a career-best performance at a Grand Slam by reaching the quarter-finals. Harmony Tan’s incredible run continues, too, with the French star inspired since her first-round win over Serena Williams and set to face American Amanda Anisimova.
There's plenty of doubles action today too, including Jamie Murray and Bruno Soarez, back in the third round of the men's doubles against John Peers and Filip Polasek in an intriguing battle, while Coco Gauff, beaten in the singles by Anisimova on Saturday, will hope her doubles journey continues in the mixed alongside Jack Sock when they face Alize Cornet and Edouard Roger-Vasselin in the quarter-finals.

Brilliant from Kyrgios. He offers Nakashima no chances to set up a break of serve and moves quicky through his service game to move within one of taking the second set.
Wimbledon 2022: Nick Kyrgios 4-6, 4-3 Brandon Nakashima*
14:34 , Michael Jones
Brandon Nakashima is in danger of letting his levels slip. After flying to 40-0 he’s made a couple of errors and gifted two points beck to Kyrgios.
Great response. He puts Krygios on the back foot and utilises his forehand to keep him there. Kyrgios’ defence holds up for a couple of shots but Nakashima belts on across court and hold serve.
Wimbledon 2022: Nick Kyrgios* 4-6, 4-2 Brandon Nakashima
14:30 , Michael Jones
Those pain killers seem to have worked. Nick Kyrgios is properly belting the ball now and rattles through his next service game to move back in front in the set.
It’s been a very quick match, just under an hour played and almost two sets completed.
Wimbledon 2022: Nick Kyrgios 4-6, 3-2 Brandon Nakashima*
14:27 , Michael Jones
Kyrgios is in charge of the second set and Nakashima needs to respond.
He does. A fine service game ends with Nakashima catching Kyrgios’ return on the half volley and beautifully lifting the ball over the net, down the opposite side of court.
Great shot.
Wimbledon 2022: Nick Kyrgios 4-6, 3-1 Brandon Nakashima*
14:24 , Michael Jones
‘I just needed some pain killers’ says Kyrgios after speaking with the doctor in the brief break between games. He should be alright again in around 20-30 minutes time when they kick in.
Not that he seems to be majorly affected as it is.
Two failed returns and an ace from his serve puts him 40-0 up and he completes the hold with two dainty drop shots from up at the net.
Wimbledon 2022: Nick Kyrgios 4-6, 2-1 Brandon Nakashima*
14:21 , Michael Jones
Deuce! Nick Kyrgios earns himself a break point in the next game and Brandon Nakashima faults on his first serve. He dinks over a softer, slower second serve and Kyrgios goes for the winner with a backhand across court.
It goes wide.
Another double fault from the American gifts Kyrgios another break point and the Australian taps back the serve. Nakashima tries to unleash a forehand return but over cooks it and belts the ball long.
Kyrgios breaks!
Wimbledon 2022: Nick Kyrgios 4-6, 1-1 Brandon Nakashima*
14:16 , Michael Jones
Kyrgios’ shoulder seems to be getting worse. He keeps giving it a rub and prod between rallies but it doesn’t seem to be too debilitating just yet.
Some fine work from Nakashima brings the American up to deuce but Kyrgios sees out the game with two pitch perfect serves down the centre line. The first is an ace and the second is floated back by Nakashima allowing Kyrgios to spank him a winning return.

Game Nakashima.
Clinical and composed stuff from the American to take the next two points and move ahead in the second set.
Wimbledon 2022: Nick Kyrgios 4-6, 0-0 Brandon Nakashima*
14:11 , Michael Jones
Kyrgios has called for the doctor in the break between set, presumably to see to his shoulder problem.
Nakashima, meanwhile, goes about his business with quiet determination. Two brilliant serves and follow ups put him 30-0 in front in the first game of the second set.
But, Kyrgios fights back. Firstly he blazes a cross-court forehand wide of his opponent before following it up in the next rally with another forehand winner. This one goes inside out and rockets past the American.
30-30.

Nick Kyrgios is feeling the pressure. Two winners from the Amercian puts Kyrgios on the back foot in the game and flicks a return into the net on the next rally.
Three set points for Nakashima.

Wimbledon 2022: Nick Kyrgios* 4-5 Brandon Nakashima
14:05 , Michael Jones
An absolutely rapid service game from Brandon Nakashima sees him fly into the lead once again. Nick Kyrgios couldn’t return the serve and only earned a point through a double fault.
Kyrgios sits down and gives his right shoulder a bit of a rub down in between games. He looks a little pensive and thoughtful, not his usual annoying self.
Nine games in and no breaks so far but a break of serve from Nakashima now and he’ll take the first set.
Wimbledon 2022: Nick Kyrgios 4-4 Brandon Nakashima*
14:02 , Jamie Braidwood
Kyrgios stretches at his shoulder after launching his first ace of the service game. He touches it again as Nakashima blocks wide.
Nakashima gets his racket on the serve down the line but it goes wide -another return goes out and Kyrgios continues to hold his shoulder after holding.
That is a concern.
Wimbledon 2022: Nick Kyrgios 3-3 Brandon Nakashima*
13:55 , Michael Jones
Kyrgios has his first conversation with the umpire after the fifth game. It’s nice and polite - Kyrgios just wanted him to look at a patch of grass behind the baseline.
Nakashima, meanwhile, has settled nicely and hasn’t allowed Kyrgios to pick up speed on the return game.
The service game is a different story, though. Rapid firing from Kyrgios and the backhand slice at the net is his first moment of magic in a rally.
Forehand winner! Kyrgios flashes the shot down the line.
Wimbledon 2022: Nick Kyrgios 2-2 Brandon Nakashima*
13:51 , Michael Jones
While Kyrgios gets underway, Alex De Minaur is taken to a fourth set by Cristian Garin, who takes the third-set tiebreak! Could be a long one there over on Court No 2.
Kyrgios, meanwhile, with the second serve ace followed by the underarm. It clips the net cord and falls for a let. Kyrgios then gets slightly fortunate that Nakashima did not make more on a short drop shot from Kyrgios. The backhand pass at 40-30 nets and Kyrgios holds.

Nakashima takes a very comfortable service game to love. Kyrgios with a couple of wild returns on the Nakashima serve.
He wins his first point of the match with the second serve ace! Rapid pace again from Kyrgios - who skelps the forehand winner to move 40-15.

Applause for Kyrgios as he makes his way out onto Centre Court to begin his warm up with Nakashima. How will the Australian adjust to Centre, and with the earlier start time? Very different conditions to the wild atmosphere of his late-night battle with Tsitsipas on Court One.

Wimbledon 2022 - Nick Kyrgios ‘not trying to be Dennis Rodman’
13:29 , Jamie Braidwood
So the big revelation today is that Nick Kyrgios not only has one Dennis Rodman shirt, but two! After wearing a shirt with the former NBA ‘bad boy’ to his press conference against Stefanos Tsitsipas, Kyrgios was wearing another, different, Rodman shirt when practicing earlier.
Asked if he was trying to be the Rodman of tennis, Kyrgios replied: “I saw the shirt today in my house, I was, like, Yeah, that will work. We were watching “Last Dance” this morning as well on the TV. NBA is a great example. Like, these guys are competitors. Like, a little bit of trash talk. I wasn’t even trash talking him (Tsitsipas). He’s going to say I bullied him. I didn’t do anything. It’s just crazy.
“I wasn’t trying to be like anyone. I was just going out there and competing at Wimbledon, and I did it. It was successful. Everything I did worked. It was like I’m not going out there to be his friend, like, Oh, Tsitsipas. Do you want me give him a lot of respect, and say, Beautiful shot, Stefanos?
“No, that’s not what I’m going to give to him. I’m just going to be myself. I’m not trying to be Dennis Rodman. Trying to be myself.”

The atmosphere is building nicely on Centre Court, anticipation for Kyrgios vs Nakashima.
Wimbledon 2022: Nick Kyrgios on Wimbledon title chances
13:24 , Jamie Braidwood
Nick Kyrgios was asked if he could win Wimbledon after defeating Stefanos Tsitsipas. “Yeah, I feel good,” was his reply. “As I said, round by round, if I keep doing my things, I feel good. I’m all right.”
The Australian was then asked what had been “holding him back” from competing in the grand slams. “I think I just don’t like travel, and tennis is a tough one,” he said. “When you’re from Australia you have to travel eight months of the year to play a full schedule. That’s not something I’m willing to do. So that’s first things first. I don’t like to travel that much.
“Obviously I haven’t been able to play a consistent level of tennis. I’m very accountable. I haven’t been able to produce my best tennis in consistent number of times in the year, and that’s that simple. I have produced some fair, consistent tennis against Tsitsipas, though.”

Both players advanced to the fourth round without dropping a set and taking out some seeded opponents.

Magic from Garin, a gorgeous backhand drop shot.
That keeps the Chilean at 100 percent, 6/6, first serve points won.
Make that 7/7, tidy, and the lead is up to 3-0.

Novak Djokovic ready to help son follow in his footsteps
10:55 , Jack Rathborn
Novak Djokovic said he will do everything he can to support his son Stefan if he decides to follow in his footsteps but the Serb wants to make sure the seven-year-old does not feel pressured to pursue a career in tennis.
Footage of the 20-times Grand Slam winner training with his son circulated on social media earlier this week and Djokovic also posted side-by-side pictures of them hitting a forehand on Twitter, with the caption “so cool to see this”.
In May, Djokovic said his son had won his first tournament on the same day he won the Italian Open, describing their success as a “sunshine double”.
“I try to use every available opportunity ... to play with him because he’s right now fully immersed into tennis,” Djokovic told reporters after his win over Tim van Rijthoven at Wimbledon on Sunday.
“Everything around tennis, how he can play, he’s watching, he’s analysing. I will support him in any possible way I can so that he can be professional tennis player ... if he really wants to.
“But it’s too early to speak about it, to be honest. He’s not even eight-years-old. It’s important for me that we have a relationship as a father and son ... before anything else, and that he’s enjoying life.”
Djokovic also said it was important his son was exposed to a variety of sports.
“I feel like it’s very important to have, particularly at this young age, a lot of stimulus to the children from different perspectives and different sports and different movement, different activities,” Djokovic said.
Six-times Wimbledon champion Djokovic will face Italian 10th seed Jannik Sinner in the quarter-finals.

Last Briton standing Cameron Norrie growing comfortable with Wimbledon pressure
10:08 , Jack Rathborn
Cameron Norrie is proud of the way he has handled home expectations after surging through to a first grand slam quarter-final at Wimbledon.
Heather Watson’s defeat on Centre Court earlier on Sunday had left Norrie in the increasingly familiar situation of being the last Briton standing and looking to break new ground having made it past the third round for the first time.
He did so with aplomb, producing his best performance of the fortnight so far to defeat American 30th seed Tommy Paul 6-4 7-5 6-4 and set up another very winnable match against David Goffin.
“Obviously a great day,” said Norrie, who is only the fifth British man to make the last eight in singles here in the Open era.

Jamie Murray and Venus Williams beaten by British pair in mixed doubles epic
09:56 , Jack Rathborn
Jamie Murray and Venus Williams are out of the Wimbledon mixed doubles after losing a marathon second-round encounter to Britain’s Jonny O’Mara and Alicia Barnett.
The fledgling partnership had five match points in an epic deciding tie-break but ended up losing it 18-16.
O’Mara and Barnett finally converted their fifth match point to seal a 3-6 6-4 7-6 (16) victory in two hours and 12 minutes.
The defeat means Scot Murray and American Williams did not manage to emulate siblings Andy and Serena, who reached the third round when they teamed up in 2019.
Williams, 42, had not played competitively since last August but requested a wild card to appear at the Championships for a 24th year.

Jannik Sinner escapes from Carlos Alcaraz battle as starlets light up Centre Court
09:44 , Jack Rathborn
Jannik Sinner progressed into the Wimbledon quarter-finals after he proved too hot to handle for Carlos Alcaraz in a meeting between two of the biggest prospects in the sport.
A breathless start by the Italian saw him grab the initiative and only briefly let it slip against the 19-year-old, who eventually hit his straps but could never find the level that saw him make the last eight at the US Open and Roland Garros in the past year.
Sinner, 20, had never won at the All England Club before this summer but took his sixth match point to claim a 6-1 6-4 6-7 (8) 6-3 success in three hours and 35 minutes to set up a potential dual with defending champion Novak Djokovic.
This was only their third battle at ATP level and the Spaniard held the upper-hand at the start of what could be a rivalry destined to dominate the next decade of tennis.

Heather Watson denied Wimbledon quarter-final by Jule Niemeier after Centre Court celebration
09:31 , Jack Rathborn
Heather Watson was unable to continue the party on Centre Court after her unexpected Wimbledon run was stopped short of the quarter-finals by Germany’s Jule Niemeier. There would be no heartbreaking ending on this occasion and although Watson will regret the missed opportunity of an open tournament draw, the 22-year-old Niemeier proved to be on a different level and is more than deserving of her place in the last eight.
Watson overcame the trauma of a string of previous Wimbledon defeats by reaching the fourth round of a grand slam for the first time in 43 attempts, but Niemeier had no such history to speak of and swung freely as she grasped the opportunity on what is her Wimbledon debut. Niemeier, the world No 97, had upset the second seed Anett Kontaveit early in the tournament and will face another German, Tatjana Maria, for a place in the semi-finals.
The 30-year-old Watson was put under pressure by Niemeier’s aggressive return game and heavy forehand, as the German broke twice in the opening set. Backed by a powerful first serve, good hands at the net and an eye for the backhand lob, Niemeier settled from an early wobble in the second set to quell any chance of a Watson comeback. Watson’s performance was littered with errors and her second serve proved to be a fatal weakness during the match, winning just four of the 15 points she faced and committing four double faults.

Sore loser Jelena Ostapenko was booed off court at Wimbledon and claimed opponent Tatjana Maria was “lucky” after her fourth-round defeat.
Latvian Ostapenko, a former French Open champion, threw a water bottle at her chair which fell over as she stormed away following a 5-7 7-5 7-5 loss in which she wasted two match points.
She said: “I thought it was my match, I had to win it, and she got just so lucky in some moments so she could come back.
“I felt I was the player who had to win this match today.
“Of course I’m really disappointed because if I lost against an amazing player who just beat me in a great match… but I just lost my match.

Stefanos Tsitsipas and Nick Kyrgios fined following bad-tempered clash
09:08 , Jack Rathborn
Stefanos Tsitsipas was given the joint biggest fine of Wimbledon so far for unsportsmanlike conduct following his tempestuous third-round clash with Nick Kyrgios.
The Greek received two warnings for hitting the ball recklessly, once into the crowd and once very hard into the backboard off a Kyrgios underarm serve, and has been hit in the pocket to the tune of 10,000 US dollars (£8,260).
That matches the fine given to Kyrgios for his antics during his first-round victory over Britain’s Paul Jubb, where he admitted spitting in the direction of a spectator who had been heckling him.
Kyrgios, who was himself fined another 4,000 dollars (£3,300) for swearing during Saturday’s match, appealed incessantly to umpire Damien Dumusois and other tournament officials for Tsitsipas to be defaulted for his first offence.

Cameron Norrie reaches first grand slam quarter-final with straight-sets win
08:45 , Jack Rathborn
Cameron Norrie kept the British flag flying in singles at Wimbledon by defeating Tommy Paul to reach the first grand slam quarter-final of his career.
Heather Watson’s defeat earlier on Centre Court had left Norrie in the increasingly familiar situation of being the last Briton standing, and he appears more than up to the task.
The ninth seed had eased past another American, Steve Johnson, in the third round and he built on that with another excellent performance on Court One, beating 30th seed Paul 6-4 7-5 6-4.
Having never previously been past the third round at a slam, Norrie is thriving on his first deep run and will be favoured to go further, with unseeded Belgian David Goffin his opponent in the last eight.
Novak Djokovic ends Tim van Rijthoven’s Wimbledon run to reach quarter-finals
08:37 , Jack Rathborn
The magical run of Tim van Rijthoven is over but it required the full powers of Novak Djokovic’s steely edge to break the spell.
After taking the second set to level the match under the lights, the 25-year-old wildcard threatened what would have been one of the biggest shocks in Centre Court’s 100-year history. Van Rijthoven had no impact on the sport to speak of until four weeks ago, when he won his first match on the professional tour and followed it up by beating all before him on grass. For a moment it looked as if the six-time Wimbledon champion would be the latest to be swept aside by his wave but Djokovic backed down on his relentless grit to take a 6-1 4-6 6-1 6-2 win in over two and a half hours.
“Come on Tim,” is a popular shout around Wimbledon during most matches at SW19 but the Centre Court crowd found a new hero in Van Rijthoven. There was something special unfolding as the Dutchman’s forehand began to find its mark following an inaccurate start. Bolstered by an emphatic serve, Van Rijthoven had the weapons and firepower an upset of this scale demands but Djokovic pressured and squeezed his opponent with a relentless return game and faultless hitting from the baseline to run away with the third set and then the match.

One of the more joyful and attractive saints of modern times died on this day in 1925 at the youthful age of 24, Pier Giorgio Frassati, a handsome, young, athletic, talented Italian from an aristocratic family. He was struck down in the bloom of young aduthood by the poliomyelitis he had contracted from his (mainly hidden) work with the poor, to whom he would carry food and necessities himself, making a detailed list of who they were and what they needed. Besides his charitable endeavours, Frassati’s talents many, as he spread the faith by his sheer charisma and energy: An avid mountaineer and hiker, scaling some of Italy’s grandest peaks; he could recite long sections of Dante – of course, in the original Tuscan – with ease. He would attend concerts, get-togethers, rallies, but would only go to the new-fangled films if he was sure of their moral quality – he could not stomach impurity and vice. And he had a nose for falsity, an immediate foe of the fascist-socialist regime of Benito Mussoini. Although he danced adequately, he never liked it quite as much as he put on, but good male dancers are thin on the ground, and one may surmise that it was chivalry that motivated him in many such things. Although in love once, he thought his parents would not approve of the marriage, and relinquished his hopes, a sacrifice that cost him dearly, as he once confided to his sister.
His chastity, purity and simplicity; his good humour and indefatigable help of others, (which really was his greatest joy); his devotion to the faith, to the Holy Mass and Rosary, his love of Italy and all things Italian, of music and song and the outdoors, attracted many to him – although I remember reading he confessed to not having a good singing voice, which, with a bit of what I hope is innocent schadenfreude, I was sort of glad to read, that this gifted man did not have every charism under God’s sun. Pier Giorgio has become not just a patron of youth, but a very icon of how one’s first formative years may be well spent.
Like Saint Thérèse, Pier covered a lot of ground quickly, and God took his sanctified soul to heaven while young, so to leave us, perhaps, with a vivid picture and example of goodness and perfection in its integral and primordial form, of body and soul, an image of what we were in that primoridial Garden; so we will be in heaven, but in a far more perfect way.
Pier was peaceful and resigned in his lingering torment from the polio, his once fit, muscular body soon reduced to its skeletal frame. He even peacefully accepted the denial of morphine by order of his mother – which she saw as unfitting – not realizing what agony her son was in.
His parents expected a few dignitaries and family friends at his funeral; they were shocked to find the streets thronged with thousands of the people of Turin, the poor, the maimed, the abandoned, including all those he had helped secretly; truly, his name was proclaimed from the housetops! When Pier Giorgio’s body was exhumed in 1981, it was found to be incorrupt. He is the patron saint of youth, and his body has been moved from its final resting place in Turin’s cathedral twice, for the World Youth Days in Sydney (2008) and Krakow (2016).
The process of the official recognition of his sanctity was put on hold by Pius XII after rumours circulated that he cavorted in the mountains in ‘mixed company’ for ‘immoral purposes’, which turned out, of course, to be utterly false. Indeed the opposite of the truth, not realizing that Pier Giorgio’s whole intention in his excursions was to instill and foster purity and chastity in his fellow youth. What better way to overcome the ‘noonday devil’ that vigorous exercise and the great outdoors, all the while singing God’s praises?
As he wrote:
Modern society is drowning in the sorrows of human passions and it is distancing itself from every ideal of love and peace. Catholics, we and you, must bring the breath of goodness that can only spring from faith in Christ
After the miraculous cure of a boy named Dominic, Pier Giorgio was beatified on May 20th, 1990 by Pope John Paul II, who in his own youth as Karol Wojtyla resembled the beatus in many ways. Perhaps they are climbing mountains together in heaven as I write, or at least will when their bodies are reunited with their souls at the end of time in that new heaven and new earth; we should all hope to join them one day, Deo volente, even if we take a bit longer time and a more circuitous route, alas, than the good Pier Giorgio. We need more of his hope, his joy, and his true Catholic optimism, that however bad things seem, in the end, all manner of things shall be well…
I will leave you again with his own words, in which we should all live in that joy that has no contrary:
You ask me whether I am in good spirits. How could I not be, so long as my trust in God gives me strength. We must always be cheerful. Sadness should be banished from all Christian souls. For suffering is a far different thing from sadness, which is the worst disease of all. It is almost always caused by lack of Faith. But the purpose for which we have been created shows us the path along which we should go, perhaps strewn with many thorns, but not a sad path. Even in the midst of intense suffering it is one of joy
How true! Blessed Pier Giorgio, orate pro nobis! | https://catholicinsight.com/the-hope-and-joy-of-pier-giorgio/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-hope-and-joy-of-pier-giorgio | 2022-07-04T14:02:05Z | https://catholicinsight.com/the-hope-and-joy-of-pier-giorgio/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-hope-and-joy-of-pier-giorgio | true | 1 |

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka — Cash-strapped Sri Lanka on Sunday extended school closures for one week because there isn't enough fuel for teachers and parents to get children to classrooms, and the energy minister appealed to the country's expatriates to send money home through banks to finance new oil purchases.
A huge foreign debt has left the Indian Ocean island with none of the suppliers willing to sell fuel on credit. The available stocks, sufficient for only several days, will be provided for essential services, including health and port workers, public transport and food distribution, officials said.
”Finding money is a challenge. It’s a huge challenge,” Power and Energy Minister Kanchana Wijesekera told reporters.
He said the government has ordered new fuel stocks and the first ship with 40,000 metric tons of diesel is expected to arrive on Friday while the first ship carrying gasoline would come on July 22.
Several other fuel shipments are in the pipeline. But he said authorities are struggling to find $587 million to pay for the fuel. Wijesekera said that Sri Lanka owed about $800 million to seven fuel suppliers.
Last month, schools were closed nationwide for a day due to fuel shortages and had remained closed for the last two weeks in urban areas. Schools will remain shut until Friday.
Authorities also announced countrywide power cuts of up to three hours a day from Monday because they can’t supply enough fuel to power generating stations. Sweeping power cuts have been a blight on Sri Lanka's economy for months, along with severe shortages of essentials including cooking gas, medicine and food imports.
Wijesekera said the main problem is the lack of dollars and appealed to some 2 million Sri Lankans working abroad to send their foreign exchange earnings home through banks instead of informal channels.
He said workers’ remittances, which usually stood at $600 million per month, had declined to $318 million in June.
According to the Central Bank, the remittances — the nation’s main foreign exchange earner — dropped from $2.8 billion in the first six months of 2021 to $1.3 billion in the same period this year for a decline of 53%.
The drop came after the government last year ordered the mandatory conversion of foreign currency. It said that black-market premiums have led people to hoard foreign currency.
Sri Lanka's has been getting most of its fuel needs from neighboring India, which provided it with a credit line. The government said it was also negotiating with suppliers in Russia and Malaysia.
Sri Lanka has suspended repayment of about $7 billion in foreign loans due this year out of $25 billion to be repaid by 2026. The country’s total foreign debt is $51 billion.
The economic meltdown has triggered a political crisis with widespread anti-government protests erupting across the country. Protesters have blocked main roads to demand gas and fuel, and television stations showed people in some areas fighting over limited stocks.
In the capital, Colombo, protesters have been occupying the entrance to the president’s office for more than two months to demand President Gotabaya Rajapaksa's resignation. They accuse him and his powerful family that included several siblings holding top government positions of plunging the country into the crisis through corruption and misrule. | https://www.wgrz.com/article/news/nation-world/sri-lanka-keeps-schools-closed/507-370af27d-3136-4058-b60d-6cdf1c2d5277 | 2022-07-04T14:20:44Z | https://www.wgrz.com/article/news/nation-world/sri-lanka-keeps-schools-closed/507-370af27d-3136-4058-b60d-6cdf1c2d5277 | false | 20 |

The 32-year-old star stunned onlookers with her glam look as she was snapped in the front row of the show alongside Euphoria star Hunter Schafer, singer Rina Sawayama and pal Derek Blasberg.
Heading into the show, which was held at the French capital's Musée des Arts Décoratifs, the beautiful actress looked typically stylish in a distressed ensemble and left fans mesmerized with her unending beauty.
She opted for a distressed look with a pair of grey wash jeans, which featured a ripped knee design.
Emma then added a white vest and tie-hem shirt to the ensemble, with a black-draped shoulder cape coat layered on top.
Donning chunky Dr. Marten Chelsea boots, the beauty accesorised with a chunky gold ring and a black handbag.
Emma's light brown locks were left down, falling alongside her jaw in a softly tousled curl.
Fans are blown away by Emma’s beauty as she sported a typically natural palette of makeup with a soft pink lip, flashing onlookers a huge smile.
Hunter, who plays Jules Vaughn in HBO hit Euphoria, donned a chic black strapless dress with matching elbow-length gloves for the show. | https://www.geo.tv/latest/426057-emma-watson-sends-pulses-racing-with-captivating-photos | 2022-07-04T14:24:14Z | https://www.geo.tv/latest/426057-emma-watson-sends-pulses-racing-with-captivating-photos | false | 1 |
Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe hero Torquator Tasso could head for Ascot next after returning to form at Hamburg at the weekend.
The chestnut, who is trained in Germany by Marcel Weiss, was a shock winner of the prestigious ParisLongchamp contest last season when prevailing by three-quarters of a length as a rank outsider among the field of 14.
The performance signalled the end of the horse’s 2021 campaign, and he returned to action at Baden-Baden in May when contesting and eventually finishing sixth in the Group Two Grosser Preis der Badischen Wirtschaft.
At Hamburg on Saturday the five-year-old was back at the mile-and-a-half trip he seems most effective over and produced a neat three-and-half-length victory under regular rider Rene Piechulek.
The success could now pave the way to the King George And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot on July 23, although some give in the ground would be preferred if a tilt at the Group One event is to come to fruition.
Following Ascot – for which he is as short as 6-1 with Paddy Power and Betfair – a run on home turf is pencilled in at Baden-Baden, after which connections hope a repeat Arc bid is on the cards for the returning champion.
“We were very happy with that, he is back to his form and we were very pleased with him,” part-owner Peter-Michael Endres told the PA news agency.
“It (a mile and a half) is the best trip and it suits him.
“If the surface is OK we will go next to Ascot, the King George And Queen Elizabeth, if there was a little bit of rain in England that would be nice for us.
“If he is OK, the horse, we will go from Ascot to Baden-Baden and then back to the Arc.”

(NEXSTAR) – What makes the perfect setting for a Fourth of July celebration? It’s not just the size of the fireworks display, according to a recent study.
From the weather to the average cost of beer and wine, WalletHub compared the 100 largest U.S. cities to determine the best one when it comes to celebrating Independence Day in 2022.
The study’s authors set out to find the perfect balance between holiday cost and fun, using 21 metrics that included average temperature, walkability, traffic congestion, average hamburger cost, duration of fireworks show and legality of fireworks, among others.
When it comes to the lowest average beer and wine prices, for instance, the top five are: Durham, North Carolina; Indianapolis; Fresno, California; Corpus Christi, Texas; and Milwaukee.
The highest average price, according to the study, was found in Atlanta, followed by Seattle, New York, Miami and Hialeah, Florida.
San Francisco, which the study found to be the best city for the 2022 Fourth of July celebration, also tied for first when it came to another metric – DUI-related fatalities per capita. Along with San Francisco, Boise, Idaho; Virginia Beach, Virginia; Greensboro, North Carolina; Newark, New Jersey; and Laredo, Texas all tied for first. St. Louis and Toledo, Ohio tied for must DUI-related fatalities, followed by Memphis, Detroit and Charlotte.
The study also gave San Francisco, among other cities, the highest possible rating for Fourth of July weather – if you decide to visit, however, keep in mind that there is always a chance of fog rolling over the city before the fireworks display begins.
The study’s authors used the 21 metrics to give weighted point scores under these umbrella categories:
- Fourth of July Celebrations
- Affordability
- Attractions & Activities
- Safety & Accessibility
- Fourth of July Weather Forecast
Below are the study’s top 25 cities for Fourth of July celebrations in 2022:
The worst city for July 4 celebrations was San Bernardino, California, according to the study. Located east of Los Angeles, the city ranked dead last for attractions & activities and 99 out of 100 when it came to safety & accessibility.
Memphis, which was found to be the least safe and accessible, was 97th out of 100 when it came to the best cities to celebrate Independence Day.
Rounding out the 10 worst, according to the study, were Jersey City, New Jersey; Newark, New Jersey; Memphis; Winston-Salem, North Carolina; Oklahoma City; St. Petersburg, Florida; Garland, Texas; Birmingham, Alabama; and Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Nigeria vs South Africa: Kick-off, TV channel, squad news and preview
Nigeria begin their 2022 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations campaign against South Africa, a game that has generated much interest from fans across the continent.
Monday’s match will be the thirteenth encounter between the two countries at the biennial African showpiece, and the Super Falcons hold the upper hand with eleven wins to Banyana Banyana’s two.
Their last outing was in 2018 when the West African claimed the African title in Ghana.
Editors' Picks
Randy Waldrum’s team will have the luxury of a full-strength squad, with the likes of Asisat Oshoala, Toni Payne, Francesca Ordega and Ngozi Okobi all expected to be in action.
TV Channel, Live Stream & How To Watch
This match will be live-streamed.
You can also watch the game in Africa on TV through SuperSport and various local broadcasters.
Squads & Team News
Potential Nigeria XI: Oluehi, Alozie, Ebi, Ohale, Plumptre, Ayinde, Chikwelu, Ajibade, Onumonu, Oshoala, Payne
Potential South Africa XI: Dlamini, Matlou, Ramalepe, Mbane, Motlhalo, Salgado, Biyana, Holweni, Dhlamini, Smidt, Kgatlana
Match Preview
South Africa are aspiring to emerge as African champions for the first time in their history at the 2022 Women's Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
In all their 13th appearance at the biennial African showpiece, they have reached the final on five occasions – however, failed to lift the diadem.
Heading to Morocco, the ambition remains the same but the need to scale Nigeria hurdle in their first encounter billed for the Stade Moulay Hassan, Rabat.
Goalkeeper Andile Dlamini knows what is at stake in this blockbuster fixture while insisting that her team would be gunning for all three points.
“Your first game of the tournament is always the biggest game and what makes it even bigger is that it is Nigeria, who are the defending champions. So, because it is Nigeria, the game is bigger than what it is supposed to be,” she told the Caf website.
“It's also the first game of the tournament and you want to start well. And you know, it's going to be a tough encounter, because they are a top side. They're not the champions of Africa for nothing.
“They've been consistent over the last couple of years and that is where we have to improve - to be consistent in our performances, to be able to be close enough to this, but I think it's all about the three points.
“I think the three points are the most important at the moment to get the tournament off to a good start.”
Asisat Oshoala will shoulder goalscoring responsibility for the West Africans in Rabat.
Since her debut in the competition, the reigning African Women Player of the Year has scored 13 goals for the Super Falcons at Wafcon.
Many of these were during Cameroon 2016 – where she was on song on six occasions.

STOCKHOLM, July 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On behalf of the charity Mercy Ships, Stena RoRo has been responsible for the construction of the Global Mercy, the world's largest civilian hospital ship. The ship has now been ceremoniously inaugurated in Dakar, Senegal. While the celebrations were still underway, the crew had already begun with the ship's first mission in strengthening African healthcare.
Stena RoRo specializes in designing ships for special needs. Project management for the construction of the Global Mercy has been underway since 2013 and has involved several European, American and Asian subcontractors. Construction was carried out at the Tianjin Xingang shipyard in northern China where Stena RoRo had an international team on site for monitoring the construction process.
Per Westling, managing director for Stena RoRo, was present at the inauguration of the vessel in Dakar.
"For us, this marks the end of our extensive involvement in a major, multi-year project. For Mercy Ships, the inauguration marks the beginning of something new. With the Global Mercy in full operation, the organization's ability to help the less fortunate in need of care more than doubles. They are doing a fantastic job and we are very proud and happy to have been a part of it."
Very special requirements
Building a ship with capabilities for both sea voyages and hospital care in port is very demanding. Stena RoRo based the design on its concept for RoPax ships – combined passenger and cargo ships for international travel – and modified it into a pure passenger ship with hospital capabilities. Both the hull form and interior layout are specially designed, and the ship features a custom ventilation system. Particular care has been taken to minimizing vibrations and noise.
"We removed car decks and built operating theatres and hospital wards instead," Per Westling explains. "The ship has space for 200 hospital patients. In port, 950 people can be accommodated and the ship is equipped with everything needed for both in-patients and those working on board, including schools and kindergartens for the volunteers' children."
Training for local healthcare professionals
The Global Mercy also has very modern training facilities, and they are already in use. In addition to providing surgical and other care, Mercy Ships trains healthcare professionals and strengthens the health infrastructure in the African countries in which it operates. The inauguration ceremonies for the Global Mercy were not even completed when the crew began the ship's first mission on the African continent: training more than 260 Senegalese healthcare workers in surgical and anesthesia skills, for example.
The Global Mercy is the first of Mercy Ship's vessels to have been designed and built specifically for their needs. The new ship will operate alongside the Africa Mercy, which has been in service since 2007. With both ships, Mercy Ships expects to be able to conduct more than 5,000 operations each year, treat over 28,000 dental patients and train more than 2,800 local healthcare employees.
A global project under Swedish management
The project started back in 2013. Swedish Stena RoRo has been responsible for the design, contracting and execution of this unique and global project. French Barry Rogliano Salles, BRS, has served as the broker; detailed design was by Finnish Deltamarin; and construction has been carried out at the Tianjin Xingang shipyard in China. The Global Mercy, classified by Lloyd's Register in the United Kingdom, will sail under the Maltese flag and operate along the coast of Africa.
A selection of suppliers involved in the project:
ABB Azipod® – Propulsion systems and generators
Alfa Laval – Coolers
Berg Propulsion – Bow propeller
Consilium – Safety systems, fire alarm system
Evac – Waste management
MacGregor – Hull doors and gang planks
Scan Marine– Monitoring and inspection of interior
Selectope – Antifouling painting
Wärtsilä – Generator motors
About the Global Mercy
Global Mercy is 174 meters long, 28.6 meters wide and can accommodate 200 patients. It has six operating theatres, a laboratory, general outpatient clinics, a dental clinic and an eye clinic. The hospital section amounts to 7,000 square meters. The vessel is also equipped with very modern training facilities. In full operation docked in port, the Global Mercy will be able to accommodate up to 950 people, including crew members and volunteers from around the world.

There are few people alive who can truly boast the title of ‘rock star’, but Fred Feranna, otherwise known as the infamous Nikki Sixx, bassist and founding member of metal icons Mötley Crüe and Sixx:AM, is one such person.
As well as being one of the most recognized bassists in rock, a best-selling author and photographer, Sixx has lived one of the loudest lives of any human in modern history.
Tales from this unique bassist’s life were graphically detailed in his previous memoir, The Heroin Diaries, in 2007. However, little is really known of his earlier years as a teenager and young adult before he hit it big with Mötley Crüe in 1981.
Not any more, though. The First 21: How I Became Nikki Sixx is the real autobiography fans have been waiting for. It was released last year alongside his band Sixx:AM’s Hits album.
“I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but the book was written by Fred Feranna and Nikki Sixx, so it’s a little psychotic – but I like to have fun with it,” laughs Sixx when we ask him about the new book.
“We moved to Wyoming a while back, and we have a lot of land and a big backdrop of the Teton mountain range; it’s something else. I grew up on the other side of those mountains in Idaho.
“I fell in love with music there, and when you find something you love, you can’t get enough of it, especially in those early years. I was out back looking over these mountains, and I just had this thought; it’s been 45 years since I was 17, back when I headed into the belly of the beast that was Hollywood.
“I’ve always been inspired by my surroundings and by things that I see. I always jot things down, whether it be lyrics, an idea for a short story or a poem. I just really like to write. Back in the Seventies, I would have original songs: The guys would say at auditions, ‘There’s no money in original music!’ but I didn’t care. That’s when I found out that I wasn’t a basic bassist who stuck to doing Top 40 music covers.
“I formed my own bands, I started writing my own songs and my own lyrics, and I wanted to share to the world that a small-town kid could make it in Hollywood. That’s where the book ends, just before Mötley Crüe.”
Practice, practice, practice
As Sixx conjures up old memories by replaying his life, even he’s a little surprised by his own antics. Rather than sweeping his misdemeanors under the rug, he embraces all parts of his life, bad haircuts and all.
“Yeah, there’s a lot of lessons in the book. There’s a lot of mistakes I made when I was a kid and young adult. There are parts in there that got me thinking that I really sound like a criminal,” he says. “Moving from job to job, hustling door to door selling vacuum cleaners and all that, but I needed to pay for rehearsals and equipment.
“When I was in one of my earlier bands, London, we asked ourselves, ‘How are we going to make a small stage in a club look like an arena show?’ That isn’t cheap, but when you’re young you could go days without eating.
“Every day was about practice,” he continues. “Just practice, practice, practice, which is still one of my favorite things. When you’re at practice you don’t have big bombs going off, or lighting or video to worry about. You’re just standing in a circle, banging out the song, dusting off the bones, and getting the rust off. That’s my favorite feeling ever, man.”
Since we’re already down memory lane, does he remember his first steps into bass guitar? “My mom had this boyfriend way back when. He had this old flamenco gut-string guitar which he gave me, but it only had three strings.
“He had these big speakers and he would be playing everything under the sun – Sly & The Family Stone, Led Zeppelin, Olivia Newton John, Kiss. I was just blown away, so when I got this guitar, I would be mapping out notes that I would hear – it was really interesting to me.
“I get grief sometimes from people who say, ‘Oh you’re not a real bass player because you’re not all over the place’, but I’m not like that,” he continues.
“My job is to support the song and be super tight with my drummer. If there’s any room in there, I might throw in something melodic, but generally I stay in the pocket, which I believe has something to do with that three-string guitar.
“I want to take one note and I want to maximize it, like how John Lennon wrote Strawberry Fields Forever. The melody in that song is relatively simple, but it changes and grows, taking you on a journey. I try to do that with our songs: To me, that’s so important.”
Ideas man
“For me, there’s always been a barrier between being traditional and following rules,” he says. “I play guitar badly, and I’ve written songs that are just three chords but which sound interesting. I’ve learned to try and be nobody else but me, which comes right from that simplicity.
“In general, I like adding all the layers to a song and that’s really exciting – watching it turn into something bigger. I’m not one of those musicians who has a full-blown studio in their house, and finishes everything and give it to the band. With Sixx:AM, we’re all in a band, which means we’re all in this together. I’ll come up to them and have a few ideas and then we just go from there. That’s my process.”
How has he managed to stay creative after so long, we wonder? “It’s different for everybody,” he explains.
“I always carry a notepad and a pencil or something to write on, and I always have a camera. I feel like I’m open all the time. Say for example, I’m watching TV and see something interesting, I’ll pick up my bass and be like, ‘What is that?’ and then it turns into an idea.
“I run with it and show the guys, who will say, ‘Yeah, that’s great – how about we try adding this?’ It all builds from there. If I write seven songs in a week, even if I don’t record them, I’ll just write them down. Not because it’s my job: I just like to create stuff. This is my life and I love it. My friends say to me, ‘Hey Nikki, are you always going to be doing this?’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah, I don’t know any other way.’
Sixx remains as much a student of bass as the next player. “I think it’s important to listen to the music which you like – and maybe listen to music that you didn’t grow up with. If you didn’t listen to ABBA, Led Zeppelin or hip-hop, opening your ears now to anything and just listening makes a world of difference.
“It doesn’t mean I’m going to be a rapper or anything, but I’m always curious about what these other creative people are doing that’s different. In my case I’m really clear in what I want, which was one of the problems I had with auditioning for those Top 40 cover bands back in the day.”
Student of life
“I remember this one audition: We’d break into Cold As Ice by Foreigner, and the guy would be like, ‘You’re not playing it exactly like the record’. I didn’t even bother listening to the bass part before going in. My mentality was the song is in A, drops to D and it opens up on an F – what more do I need to know?
“I always got fired because those bands were playing the songs exactly like they were on the record. I wasn’t very good at doing cover songs. In Mötley Crüe we would do a few here and there, but in general we didn’t really do that. I don’t want to go into band rehearsal to be like ‘Learn this and learn that’. That’s never been my thing.”
There’s just one more thing we have to ask. If he could go back and sit face to face with his 21-year-old self, what would he tell Fred Feranna to do differently?
“I feel if I could have done anything different, I wish I had gotten lessons when I was younger. It would have been one of the best things for me. I wish I could have had that kind of support musically, which I don’t mean in a negative way. People always ask me if they’re starting bass, what should they do, and my answer is always the same. Play to a metronome and take lessons.
“As a musician, you need to be in a position where you can go into any kind of session and fit in. When you take lessons, all the information is right there,” he concludes.
“I was taking lessons from this site called Scott’s Bass Lessons. I would go into the beginner’s section and I’d be like, ‘Okay sure, I know that, but what’s that interesting piece of information which I’ve never had?’ Then I’d wade through the more advanced stuff, and that’s where I started playing with my fingers more. I really enjoy that. I’m not sure I’ll be playing fingers with the band – but I enjoy it anyway.”

ROME (AP) — Thunderstorms hampered Monday the search for more than a dozen hikers who remained unaccounted for a day after a huge chunk of an Alpine glacier in Italy broke off, sending an avalanche of ice, snow and rocks down the slope. Italy’s state TV said another body was recovered, raising the known death toll to seven.
Nine others were injured when the avalanche was unleashed from the Marmolada glacier Sunday afternoon when dozens of hikers were on excursions, some of them roped together.
Trento Prosecutor Sandro Raimondi said 17 hikers were initially believed to be missing, the Italian news agency LaPresse reported. But later, RAI state TV reported from the scene that the number of unaccounted for dropped to 15 after authorities were able to track down some of those feared missing.
The detached ice block was massive, estimated at 200 meters (yards) wide, 80 meters tall and 60 meters deep. Gov. Luca Zaia, whose Veneto region in northeast Italy borders the Marmolada area, likened the avalanche to an “”apartment building (sized) block of ice with debris and Cyclopean masses of rock.”
”I can’t say anything else other than the facts, and the facts tell us that the high temperatures don’t favor these situations,” Zaia told reporters.
Italy is in the grips of a weeks-long heat wave, and Alpine rescuers said that the temperature at the glacier’s altitude last week topped 10 C (50F) when usually it should over around freezing at this time of year.
An ice rink in the Dolomite mountain resort town of Canazei was serving as a makeshift morgue to identify dead, a task made more challenging and gruesome because rescuers said in some cases body parts were found strewn over a wide area.
At least four bodies brought to the ice rink had been identified by Monday afternoon.
RAI said three of those identified were Italians, including an experienced Alpine guide. Another was a hiker whose relatives said he had just sent a selfie of himself from the slope shortly before the avalanche barreled down.
One of the dead was from Czechia, RAI said.
According to media reports, those feared missing include several Italians, three Romanians, one with French nationality, another from Austria, and four from Czechia.
Raimondi was quoted as saying two of the injured are Germans. Zaia told reporters that one of the Germans was a 65-year-old man. Of the patients was so badly injured, so far identification has been impossible.
Drones were being used to help look for any of the missing as well as verify safety.
Sixteen cars remained unclaimed in the area’s parking lot, and authorities sought to track down occupants through license plates. It was unclear how many of the cars might have belonged to the already identified victims or to the injured, all of whom were flown by helicopters on Sunday to hospitals.
What caused a pinnacle of the glacier to break off and thunder down the slope at a speed estimated by experts at some 300 kph (nearly 200 mph), wasn’t immediately known.
But high temperatures were widely cited as a likely factor.
Jacopo Gabrieli, a polar sciences researcher at Italy’s state-run CNR research center, noted that the long heat wave, spanning May and June, was the hottest in northern Italy in that period for nearly 20 years.
“It’s absolutely an anomaly,” Gabrieli said in an interview on Italian state TV Monday. Like other experts, he said it would have been impossible to predict when or if a serac — a pinnacle from a glacier’s overhang — could break off, as it did on Sunday.
Operators of rustic shelters along the mountainside said temperatures at the 2,000-meter (6,600 foot) level recently reached 24C (75 F) – unheard of in a place where excursionists go in summer to keep cool.
The glacier, in the Marmolada range, is the largest in the Dolomite mountains in northeastern Italy. People ski on it in the winter. But the glacier has been rapidly melting away over the past decades, with much of its volume gone. Experts at Italy’s state-run CNR research center, which has a polar sciences institute, estimated a couple of years ago that the glacier will disappear within 25-30 years.
The Mediterranean basin, which includes southern European countries like Italy, has been identified by U.N. experts as a “climate change hot spot,” likely to suffer heat waves and water shortages, among other consequences.
Pope Francis, who has made care of the planet a priority of his papacy, tweeted an invitation to pray for the avalanche victims and their families. “The tragedies that we are experiencing with climate change must push us to urgently search for new ways that are respectful of persons and nature,” Francis wrote. | https://cw39.com/international/ap-international/drones-used-in-search-after-fatal-italian-glacier-avalanche/ | 2022-07-04T15:13:30Z | https://cw39.com/international/ap-international/drones-used-in-search-after-fatal-italian-glacier-avalanche/ | true | 10 |
Sonal Bawa Bakshi arrives on literary scene with a dish best served cold
Love, passion, revenge, betrayal, and survival – Canada-based Sonal Bawa Bakshi’s debut mystery thriller has all the makings of a page-turner.
In her novel, What Comes from Within, Bakshi, a confessed ‘hardcore feminist’ introduces us to the feisty and fiercely independent protagonist, Nalini Shah, who lives life on her terms and braves the monumental odds stacked against her.
The book also shines spotlight on abuse, traumas buried within that seek an outlet, and unconditional bond between friends, all the while keeping readers on the edge, with a twist lurking around every page turn.
When Bakshi decided to pen a novel, she knew from the start that it had to be a thriller. “I used to be a die-hard romantic, but then, I gradually started enjoying mysteries as they kept me hooked. I would read them in one sitting! Naturally, I, too, wanted to write something that would be ‘unputdownable’. My weekend binge sessions on series such as The Sinner also contributed to my love for the genre,” says the author, who was born and brought up in Chandigarh.
Bakshi, with her editor Vincent Varghese, is working on two other instalments in the series, which is to be a trilogy, where Nalini and her friend Carol will take on demons of the society including child trafficking and child slavery.
Asked if she had any advice for amateur writers hoping to publish their work, she says, “Write from your heart and dedicate at least two hours every day to your project.”
Published by Destiny Media LLP, the book is available on Amazon and Kindle e-reader.

US judge asks Biden if Saudi crown prince should have sovereign immunity in Khashoggi civil suit
John Bates, a US district court judge, has given the Biden administration until 1 August to indicate whether it has an interest in the Khashoggi civil case
A US judge has asked the Biden administration to wade into the US civil court case brought against Saudi Arabia’s crown prince Mohammed bin Salman by Hatice Cengiz, the fiancée of the murdered Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
John Bates, a US district court judge, has asked for the Biden administration government to indicate whether it has an interest in the case or deliver notice that it has no view on the matter by no later than 1 August, The Guardian reported.
In 2020, Ms Cengiz and Democracy for the Arab World Now (DAWN), an NGO formed by deceased journalist Khashoggi before his death in 2018, filed a lawsuit against the crown prince, more commonly referred to as MBS, alongside two dozen co-defendants.
The suit alleges that Khashoggi, who had fled Saudi Arabia and was a resident of Virginia at the time of his death, was tortured, brutally murdered and dismembered inside the Saudi Arabian consulate in Istanbul by Saudi agents, all under the direction of the crown prince.
At the time, Khashoggi had reportedly gone to the Saudi consulate in Turkey to pick up documents he required to marry his then-fiancée, who has remained a staunch and vocal critic – like her dead husband-to-be was when he was alive – of MBS and his government.
For his part, the crown prince has categorically denied being involved in the journalist’s assassination, stating that it was the fault of so-called “rogue agents” and has similarly dismissed the civil case brought against him, having filed two separate motions to have the case removed from the docket.
In those motions, lawyers representing MBS contend that the court lacks jurisdiction over the crown prince.
“In the court’s view, some of the grounds for dismissal advanced by defendants might implicate the interests of the United States; moreover, the court’s resolution of defendants’ motions might be aided by the knowledge of the United States’ views,” Judge Bates said, according to The Washington Post.
Judge Bates’ request from the Biden administration comes at a time when the relationship between the Middle Eastern kingdom and Washington is at a potentially course-altering stage, as the US president is scheduled to arrive in Riyadh for the first time since assuming office to meet with the heir apparent later this month.
This late summer summit has been criticised by Ms Cengiz, who told CNN recently that it would be a significant loss for human rights defenders around the world.
“President Biden’s decision to meet MBS is horribly upsetting to me and supporters of freedom and justice everywhere,” Ms Cengiz said in a statement to CNN.
Mr Biden’s decision to meet with the crown prince is a sharp departure from the campaign he ran on in 2020 to earn the presidency, during which he committed to holding the Saudi Arabian government accountable for human rights abuses while famously vowing to make the oil-rich nation a “pariah”.
The president was initially lauded for delivering on those promises, as he placed sanctions on the middle eastern government, while simultaneously releasing a damning piece of unclassified US intelligence which confirmed that officials believed MBS was likely responsible for the outspoken journalist’s murder.
“Those involved in the abhorrent killing of Jamal Khashoggi must be held accountable. With this action, Treasury is sanctioning Saudi Arabia’s Rapid Intervention Force and a senior Saudi official who was directly involved in Jamal Khashoggi’s murder,” Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said in a statement issued in early 2021.
Those sanctions, however, stopped short of directly targeting the crown prince. And with the ongoing invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces continuing to drive up oil prices, and midterms fast-approaching with the president still weathering record-low approval ratings, it’s likely that the US president will, once again, avoid specifically taking a shot at the Saudi Arabian crown prince in order to preserve relations and so might decide to avoid weighing in on the US civil case.
This much is suspected by senior US officials, according to CNN, who reported earlier last month that the US president hopes to use the official trip to Riyadh as an opportunity to “reset” the two countries’ stale relationship.
“Both sides have decided that for the sake of achieving peace and stability in the Middle East, we need to move past it,” an unnamed senior US official told CNN in reference to Khashoggi’s killing, which would effectively mean bypassing punishing the crown prince over the US resident’s murder.
Biden is expected to meet with Prince Mohammed in Jeddah at the end of a four-day trip beginning on 13 July.

The awesome LG C1 OLED TV can be found for its cheapest ever price among today's 4th of July TV deals – the 48-inch LG C1 is now available for just $769.99 at Amazon (opens in new tab), which is a 47% saving compared to its launch price of $1,499.
The 48-inch model is the smallest size available, and so is the cheapest, but if you want to go bigger, the other sizes are all discounted healthily too. You can get the 55-inch version for $1,096 (was $1,499) (opens in new tab), the 65-inch version for $1,596 (was $2,499) (opens in new tab), the 77-inch version for $2,596 (was $3,799) (opens in new tab), and the 83-inch version for $3,996 ($5,999) (opens in new tab).
All of these are pretty much the lowest prices these TVs have been, if not the actual lowest, and though they've all already seen discounts compared to their original prices, these latest discounts are still big – the 48-inch model has been $999 since the Spring, for example, so you're getting a major extra price cut here. It's among the best 4th of July sales buys we've seen so far.
In our full LG C1 review, we gave it the maximum five stars when it launched in 2021, and here in 2022 our updated review still says it "remains one of the best TVs at any price." The price cuts have obviously helped here, but they've basically turned one of the best OLED TVs into an incredible mid-range TV, and that's why it remains one of our top recommended sets even today, when the replacement (and more expensive) LG C2 is available.
Outside the US? Check out the best LG C1 deals in your region just below.
The best thing about the LG C1 is that it's a smart investment – it's not just a great price. The image quality is excellent, yes – but the even bigger win is that it's got advanced next-gen connectivity and a great smart TV platform that can be updated in the future. All four of its HDMI ports are HDMI 2.1 and ready for 4K 120Hz and Variable Refresh Rate gaming, for example, which are what you want for the PS5 and Xbox Series X.
Sometimes, when you buy a bargain TV, the risk you run is that in a few years you'll wish you got one that was a bit more expensive but came with extra cool features that you've grown to want. The LG C1 is totally safe in that regard – it's future-proofed.
If you're interested, we're also rounding up all of this week's best OLED TV deals from other retailers and on other models. For those looking for something a little more reasonably prices, head on over to our main best cheap TV deals page. | https://www.techradar.com/deals/get-the-lg-c1-oled-tv-for-its-lowest-ever-price-in-the-4th-july-sales-now-just-dollar796 | 2022-07-04T15:20:07Z | https://www.techradar.com/deals/get-the-lg-c1-oled-tv-for-its-lowest-ever-price-in-the-4th-july-sales-now-just-dollar796 | true | 1 |
OSCE Minsk Group: Lingering death throes
By Orkhan Amashov
Once Armenia officially agrees to discuss the Karabakh subject exclusively in terms of the rights and security of the Armenian population of the region inside Azerbaijan, denuded of a territorial status component, the Minsk Group will self-destruct or will be dissolved by its creator – the OSCE.
Consistently persisting that a certain death has occurred may, on occasion, be construed to be evidence to the contrary. This is only loosely, and partially, applicable to Azerbaijan’s present insistence that the OSCE Minsk Group is de facto dead.
The truth is it is dying a long death, and its throes are protracted. But within the process, it has already reached the point subsequent to which “gradations of its passing away” are of no practical import.
Prior to the 44-day war, the OSCE Minsk Group had been brain-dead, Azerbaijan’s victory in 2020 rendered it irrelevant, as it was deprived of its raison d'être – addressing the final status of the former Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast; now, in the aftermath of the inception of the Ukrainian crisis and schism it has engendered between the West and Russia, it cannot perform a group activity, but it is still somewhat alive, at least, de jure.
In my pieces about the entity in question over the past few months, I have referred to it as “misbegotten”, beleaguered”, “obsolete”, “archaic”, bankrupt”, “inert”, ‘impotent’ or even “clinically dead”, but the appellatives have always fallen short of an ultimate verdict tantamount to an irreversible death warrant.
In practical terms, the OSCE Minsk Group became an indispensable device in the hands of those who either wanted to eternalise the conflict and ensure its duration in perpetuity or eventually compel Azerbaijan to the fact of the occupation and yield to the territorial loss.
President Ilham Aliyev’s grim evaluation of the organisation’s 28-year-old endeavours explains only too well why Baku would not touch with a bargepole any suggestion on its remote involvement in the future peace process.
When I asked Paul Goble, former advisor to the US Secretary of State, “what should happen for the Minsk Group to be consigned to history”, he wisely reminded me that the last meeting of the League of Nations was convened in 1946, long after it ceased to perform any real function. In other words, an international organisation may continue to claim to be in existence long after its practical end.
The OSCE Minsk Group and the question of the final status of the former Nagorno-Karabakh have always been interconnected, for the latter was the raison d’être of the former. After the Second Karabakh War, Azerbaijan has consistently refused to talk about the territorial status of the region and suggested that the OSCE Minsk Group should redefine its mandate to remain relevant, which it has not.
In April, after Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov’s admission that the OSCE Minsk Group had been effectively cancelled by the West, namely the US and France, many wondered whether its death was “finally final”.
The feeling back then was that this was a clinical death warrant, if not more. However, in a strictly legal sense, the entity in question was still alive and would continue to be formally in existence until the point of self-dissolution or a coup de grâce of some sort.
Today, the situation is slightly different, as it is of lesser import whether the OSCE Minsk Group has been de jure abandoned or not. What matters today is the extent to which Yerevan is prepared to move from “the thinking along the lines of the territorial status” to “the security and rights of Armenians inside Azerbaijan”.
Pashinyan has vacillated on this from December 2021 onwards. Paul Goble, for instance, is of the opinion that “what the Armenian Prime Minister says occasionally is welcome, but he does not have a sufficient amount of strength” to take practical steps.
Today’s Azerbaijani-Armenian peace process, both within the Moscow and Brussels formats, does not touch upon the status issue. The interstate normalisation entails two separate realms - the demarcation of the delimitation of the state border and the unblocking of communications. It is possible to achieve some progress in both of these dimensions, whilst leaving the issues related to the Armenian inhabitants of Karabakh aside for the time being.
Some commentators believe that, before the 2020 war, the OSCE Minsk Group was in a privileged position to mediate the conflict, but now the whole discourse has been fragmented.
Laurence Broers of London-based Conciliation Resources contends that there are three separate tracks, namely (i) the Moscow-mediated process with a heavy focus on security, due to the Russian peacekeepers’ presence in Karabakh, (ii) the Brussels-led line concentrating on technical-economic matters, and (iii) the OSCE Minsk Group dealing with the old final status issue.
The reality is that Baku has masterfully, by virtue of its victory, not just downgraded the status issue in the pegging order but removed it from the contemporary agenda, shifting the whole discussion into the interstate domain.
Paul Goble agreed with me on this, but also stated that the question of the status of the Armenian community inside Azerbaijan will resurface from time to time, and whenever this happens, people will think of the OSCE Minsk Group, as it was the only entity prepared to talk about that very issue.
As to the comparative merits of the Brussels and Moscow formats, he articulated a very interesting and punchy formula: the participation of the EU is welcome, but is not determinative, whereas the participation of Moscow is inevitable, but will be less determinative.
However much Azerbaijan and Armenia may exclusively focus on interstate issues for some time, a peace treaty will require the Armenian recognition of Azerbaijani territorial integrity with Karabakh included and Baku will be expected to guarantee the security and rights of Armenians residing in the region. Failure to achieve progress there could give rise to all sorts of possibilities, including a new stalemate and even a renewed widescale escalation.

Bitcoin is a digital currency that allows people to buy goods and services and exchange money without banks, credit card issuers, or other third parties. Bitcoin is decentralized, meaning any single entity does not control it. Bitcoin was created in 2009 by a person or group of people using Satoshi Nakamoto. (Image source:https://unsplash.com/photos/NHRM1u4GD_A) Bitcoins are created as a reward for a process known as mining. They can be exchanged for other currencies, products, and services. As of February 2015, over 100,000 merchants and vendors accepted bitcoin as payment. But is there anything to know about this cryptocurrency? 1. No One Knows Who Created Bitcoin Why does the discoverer of a significant project need to be known? Satoshi Nakamoto is the name used by the unknown person or people who designed bitcoin and created its original reference implementation. As part of the implementation, they also devised the first blockchain database. In 2008, Nakamoto published a paper on The Cryptography Mailing list at metzdowd.com describing the digital bitcoin currency. Then in January 2009, Nakamoto released the first bitcoin software that launched the network and the first units of the bitcoin cryptocurrency, called bitcoins. Nakamoto proposed adding a timestamp server to the Bitcoin protocol so it would not be possible for one person to create fraudulent blocks. Satoshi also proposed three other ways of preventing double-spending: Using peer-to-peer networking. Allowing users to download a file of all bitcoin transactions. Providing a proof-of-work system. The creator(s) then released the software as open-source code in 2009. On January 3, 2009, Nakamoto mined the first block of bitcoins ever (called the genesis block), which had a reward of 50 bitcoins. Nakamoto is estimated to have mined 1 million bitcoins before disappearing in 2010 when he handed the network alert key and control of the code repository over to Gavin Andresen. Andresen later became the lead developer at the Bitcoin Foundation. Nakamoto’s involvement with bitcoin did not appear to extend past mid-2010. 2. There are Options On Where to Buy Bitcoin From If you want to buy bitcoins, the easiest and cheapest way is to buy them on a Bitcoin exchange. However, this isn’t the only way to get some bitcoins. You can also buy bitcoins with cash. There are several ways to do this. The most popular method is to use a Bitcoin ATM. Bitcoin ATMs are machines that allow you to buy bitcoins with cash. Another way is to use a service like LocalBitcoins. This service will enable you to find people in your local area who are willing to sell bitcoins for cash. You can also buy bitcoins with PayPal if you find a seller that accepts this payment method. However, the fees for buying bitcoins with PayPal are usually higher than using a Bitcoin ATM or LocalBitcoins. The cheapest way to buy bitcoins is not always the easiest way. If you want to buy bitcoins with cash, you’ll need to find a local seller willing to sell to you. If you want to buy bitcoins with PayPal, you’ll need to find a seller who accepts this payment method. If you’re going to mine for bitcoins, you don’t need to buy expensive ASIC miners. You can also mine for bitcoins on your phone. Another crucial thing is that Bitcoin investors in Australia can park their funds in capital growth funds. These are investment vehicles that invest in companies expected to grow at an above-average rate. The fund managers of these funds typically invest in small and mid-sized companies. They target the ones with the potential to generate high returns. Wholesale Bitcoin investors often use capital growth funds to get exposure to a basket of high-growth companies. The team at Monochrome Australia explains that it’s essential to concentrate on compatibility with other traditional asset investments. As an investor, you can target portfolio services with pure bitcoin exposure. The target allocation percentage should be good also. Investors can get diversified exposure to several companies that they might not otherwise have access to by investing in a fund. Capital growth funds typically have higher fees than traditional index funds. However, the higher fees are justified because these funds have the potential to generate much higher returns. 3. Bitcoin Is Not Anonymous Bitcoin is pseudonymous, so your personal information isn’t attached to your Bitcoin address, but it can be traced back to you in several ways. When you register for an account with exchanges or web wallets, you need to give away personal information like your name, email, and phone number. Most Bitcoin users rely on third-party wallets to create their addresses and manage their funds. When you use a hosted wallet, the company that provides the service will have access to your account and, therefore, your identity. Every transaction made with Bitcoin is stored in a blockchain ledger. The blockchain is a public record of all Bitcoin transactions that have ever been made. The person’s identity making a transaction is not revealed, but every transaction made with Bitcoin is visible to everyone on the network. Law enforcement agencies have used the blockchain to track down and prosecute criminals. In 2016, the FBI was able to identify and shut down the Silk Road, an online marketplace that was used to buy and sell illegal drugs using Bitcoin. In 2017, they were able to identify and arrest the creator of the WannaCry ransomware attack that affected over 200,000 computers in 150 countries by tracing Bitcoin payments made by the attackers. 4. You Can’t Mine Bitcoin on Your Home Computer Anymore Mining is how new bitcoins are created. Miners are rewarded with bitcoins for verifying and committing transactions to the blockchain. Bitcoin mining is a competitive process, so it can be challenging to make a profit as a miner. In the early days of Bitcoin, it was possible to mine for bitcoins using a regular home computer. But as more and more people started mining, the difficulty of finding new blocks increased. Today, it’s impossible to mine for bitcoins using a regular home computer because you need to generate more heat than a small country to find a new block. You can still mine for other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum or Monero, which can be profitable if you have the right equipment. But if you’re starting, you’re better off buying bitcoins with cash or using a Bitcoin ATM. How do you do Bitcoin mining in the right way? You would need specialized hardware known as application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) to do Bitcoin mining. ASICs are designed specifically for mining and can’t be used for anything else. ASICs are expensive and require a lot of electricity to run, so they’re not worth it for most people. If you want to mine for bitcoins, you’re better off joining a mining pool where you can share the rewards with other miners. Mining pools are groups of miners that work together to find blocks. The rewards are divided among the miners according to their contributed mining power. Nowadays, you may also use your mobile phone. Several Android and iPhone apps allow you to mine for bitcoins. The most popular is probably Bitcoin Miner. This app will enable you to mine for bitcoins on your Android phone. You can also mine for bitcoins on your iPhone with the BitMinter app. This app uses your iPhone’s processing power to mine for bitcoins. While you won’t make much money mining for bitcoins on your phone, it is a fun way to get started with Bitcoin. 5. The Bitcoin Network Is Decentralized This is a network that isn’t centrally controlled by any single person or entity. The Bitcoin network is decentralized because no central authority controls the network. Instead, it is maintained by a network of computers worldwide that are running the Bitcoin software. Decentralization is one of the key features of Bitcoin that makes it unique. One of the most important aspects of Bitcoin is that it is a decentralized network. There is no central authority or intermediary that can control the Bitcoin network. All transactions are verified and committed to the blockchain by miners. These miners are rewarded with bitcoins for their work. The Bitcoin network is powered by electricity, so it requires a lot of energy to run. The decentralization of the Bitcoin network makes it more secure from attacks. There is no single point of failure that can be exploited. If one miner goes offline, the network can still function because there are thousands of other miners around the world verifying transactions. Besides, the transactions are fast and cheap. Transactions are confirmed within minutes and can be made without going through a bank or other third party. The average transaction fee for a Bitcoin transaction is around $0.20, which is much cheaper than the fees charged by banks or other financial institutions. Bitcoin transactions are also fast. They are typically confirmed within 10 minutes. Compare this to the time it takes to process a credit card transaction which can take days or even weeks. Furthermore, it’s impossible to ban Bitcoin physically. However, that didn’t stop China from trying to ban Bitcoin. In September 2017, the Chinese government announced a crackdown on Bitcoin and ICOs. The government banned all exchanges and ICOs. This caused the price of Bitcoin to crash. But the market quickly recovered, and the cost of Bitcoin reached an all-time high just a few months later. Remember, no single person or entity controls crypto. Even if one country tries to ban it, thousands of other countries will continue to use it. The Bitcoin network is powered by electricity, so it requires a lot of energy to run. This makes it expensive to ban. If a country tries to ban Bitcoin, it would also have to ban all the other cryptocurrencies powered by electricity. 6. You Can Use Bitcoin to Pay for Things Online (Image source:https://unsplash.com/photos/M4DMyeU9Etc) One of the most popular uses for Bitcoin is online payments. You can use Bitcoin to pay for things online, just like any other currency. Several businesses accept Bitcoin as payment. Some of the most popular include Overstock, TigerDirect, and Newegg. You can also use Bitcoin to pay for things on sites like Expedia and CheapAir.com. The same case goes for the Netflix subscription. If you’re looking for a way to spend your bitcoins, one option is to buy gift cards. Several sites allow you to purchase gift cards with bitcoins. One popular site is Gyft.com. You buy from several different retailers, including Amazon, Target, and Walmart. Alternatively, go to eGifter.com. You can purchase gift cards from various retailers, including Amazon, Best Buy, and Starbucks. On the other hand, you can do so with Bitcoin if you need to donate to charity. Several charities accept Bitcoin donations. You can try the Electronic Frontier Foundation. This charity accepts Bitcoin donations to help support its work in defending civil liberties online. WikiLeaks Foundation also accepts Bitcoin donations to help support its work by providing a platform for whistleblowers. While Bitcoin is a very secure system, there are always risks for anything related to the internet. The best way to keep your Bitcoin safe is to use a hardware wallet. Hardware wallets are physical devices that store your bitcoins offline. The most popular hardware wallets are the Ledger Nano S and the Trezor. These devices allow you to store your bitcoins offline and avoid potential hacking risks. You can as well use a paper wallet to store your bitcoins offline. A paper wallet is simply a piece of paper with your Bitcoin address and private key printed on it. If you want to learn more about Bitcoin, several resources are available online. One of the best is the Bitcoin Wiki. This site contains a wealth of information about Bitcoin, including a history of the system and how it works. You can also find several forums and chat rooms where you can talk to other Bitcoin users. These are great places to ask questions and get advice from other people using Bitcoin. Alternatively, find many Bitcoin meetups in your local area. These are great places to meet other interested people in Bitcoin and learn more about the system. Bitcoin is a digital currency that has several advantages over traditional fiat currencies. It is decentralized, which means that it is not subject to the whims of governments or central banks. It is also global; it can be used by anyone anywhere. And it is also secure, thanks to its use of cryptography. If you’re looking for an alternative to traditional fiat currencies, Bitcoin may be the right choice. Just be sure to research and understand the system before investing any of your money.

Wondering what the best travel camera is? Then you've come to the right destination. The best travel cameras combine portability with advanced features, which means that wherever you want to go in the world, you can capture all the amazing things you see. Arguably, any camera can be a travel camera, but these are the ones we think are best right now.
If you're going on holiday the last thing you usually want to take is heavy kit, especially given the restrictions of airlines and the expense of taking extra baggage. With that mind, both your camera and lens(es) need to be relatively lightweight. Whether you shoot photos, video or a little bit of both, there are lots of compact mirrorless systems that won't take up much room in your bag but will produce much higher-quality content than your phone.
Along with considering the size of the camera, you should also think about image quality and zoom. If you can't change the lens on your camera, then you want to have a zoom that can capture any kind of subject, even if it's from a long way away.
1) Image quality: You want to show off your travels as best you can and a good compact or mirrorless will produce much higher quality images than your phone.
2) Zoom range: Long-range zooms are popular but they can also be heavy, a wide-angle, wide-aperture zoom might be better for capturing the sights.
3) Size and weight: If you want something that can fit in your pocket, get a compact but if you don't mind taking a bag a mirrorless system is more versatile.
4) Simplicity: Don't want to get bogged down with camera settings? Most modern cameras have a full auto mode - especially compacts which takes away the stress.
5) Price: The cameras in our list have a range of prices, but if this is your main criterion, check out our guides to the best cheap cameras or the best camera deals (opens in new tab).
Even though the best camera phones can produce really nice images, you just don't get the same quality as you would if shooting with one of the best point-and-shoots (opens in new tab) or best mirrorless cameras (opens in new tab). Smartphones are somewhat restricted by small sensors and low power flashes which means they don't perform as well in low light and the flash often isn't bright enough.
Cameras also have much more zoom capabilities, regardless of whether you want to buy a mirrorless or a compact system. The zoom range on mirrorless systems entirely depends on which lenses you invest in and while the zoom range on compact cameras is fixed, some can extend to 700mm!
The type of camera you pick comes down to personal preference and budget. To help you decide which is best, we've split the guide into two sections. First, we'll look at mirrorless cameras which often offer better image quality and more versatility than compact systems but at the cost of their size and weight.
Second of all, we'll look at compact systems which are pretty much pocket-sized, perfect for keeping on you at all times, won't weigh you down and are really simple to use. It's also worth considering how much you want to use the camera outside of your travels and if so, what for?
If you're on a really tight budget you might want to check out our guides on the best cameras under $100 (opens in new tab) or if this is your first camera, the best cameras for beginners (opens in new tab)will show you to the ones that are the most user-friendly. For anyone who is off on an adventure-packed outdoors holiday, one of the best action cameras (opens in new tab) might suit your needs better as they're robust, weatherproof and can be attached to anything from your head to your surfboard.
Whichever travel camera you pick, you'll need something safe and secure to transport it in – take a look at our guide to the best camera bags and cases (opens in new tab) for some ideas in this department.
The best travel camera in 2022
Mirrorless cameras
Mirrorless cameras might be a little heavier and larger than compact cameras, but they give you both better image quality (through larger sensors) and the option to change your lenses. The best lenses for travel (opens in new tab) give you the ability to capture ultra-wide-angle photos of famous landmarks and also zoom in on the beautiful details in the distance. You'll also find that they perform better in low light.
(opens in new tab)When picking the best travel camera, we're focusing on portability, and the dinky but mighty Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV is one of the best portable cameras around. Not only does it have an incredibly lightweight body, with tactile dial-led controls, but it also uses the smaller Micro Four Thirds sensor. While this has some disadvantages in terms of low-light capabilities, it effectively doubles the focal length of any lens mounted to the camera; so a lens that's the shape and size of a 50mm will behave like a 100mm. In travel photography, this goes a long way, helping you keep your kit size down. We haven't even talked about everything else that's great about the E-M10 Mark IV: its snappy burst shooting, its accurate autofocus, its impressive 4K video. It's a terrific all-around camera.
Readers in Europe and the UK take note: Olympus has also recently come out with the Pen E-P7 (opens in new tab), a stylish take-anywhere camera that inherits a lot of tech from the E-M10 Mark IV. We've not included it here as it's unclear when or if it's coming to the US, but it's worth considering if your budget stretches far enough.

The Fujifilm X-S10 is probably the best all-round APS-C camera you can buy right now. It's got a fully-articulated screen and generally handles very well, despite having fewer external control dials and buttons compared to the Fujifilm X-T4 (opens in new tab) and Fujifilm X-T30 II (opens in new tab) Having IBIS (in-body stabilization) is also a huge bonus, making it easier to shoot hand-held with slower shutter speeds, which is hugely useful for low-light work. As with all Fujifilm cameras, the jpg images without any editing are stunning and it features a variety of different film simulation modes if you want to add a little something to your pictures. In terms of APS-C cameras, we're hard-pressed to think of one that offers a better balance of features, performance and price than the Fujifilm X-S10, and that's why it's our top pick.

If how your camera looks is really important to you, you can't go wrong with the Nikon Z fc. It comes in a choice of vibrant colors including mint green, coral pink and dark orange so no matter what your preference, there'll be one you love. When this camera was first released, it was so popular that Nikon struggled to keep up with demand (opens in new tab). And no wonder, this compact, lightweight camera benefits from Nikon's sophisticated 12-pin Z mount which allows for fast communication between the camera and lens. The 20.9-megapixel APS-C sensor delivers super high-quality images that you can transfer on the go thanks to built-in Bluetooth and WiFi.
One of the biggest downsides to the Z fc (and the Nikon Z50 (opens in new tab)for that matter) is the lack of lenses available. Nikon and other third-party brands are slowly bringing out more but we are hopeful more will come in time. If budget is an issue, the Nikon Z50 is practically the same camera - it's just not quite as pretty.
The Sony ZV-E10 is one of the cheapest vlogging cameras yet, and this combined with its slim dimensions makes it a perfect choice for travellers who want to shoot a little video. It comes with sophisticated built-in mics and a clip-on windshield for noise reduction, making it much easier to get clean audio on your vlogs even outdoors, and the 4K UHD video it produces is of excellent quality. As we've come to expect from Sony, the autofocus is best in class, whether shooting video or stills. And that's a point worth mentioning: the ZV-E10 may be optimised for vlogging, but it's still a capable stills camera with 11fps burst-shooting in the tank, so don't worry about restricting yourself with it. The ZV-E10 makes for an excellent traveller's camera.
People don't just shoot stills any more! For many of us, video is just as important as still images, if not more so, and it's these vloggers and content creators that the Lumix G100 is aimed at. It makes it easy to capture high-quality video and stills with its approachable button layout. Even people uninterested in the technicalities of capturing great-looking videos will be able to get results with this camera. There’s an inherent risk of dumbing things down too much when creating a camera for social media creatives, but Panasonic has avoided that pitfall with the Lumix G100. By giving it a decent viewfinder and “proper camera” ergonomics, Panasonic has given the G100 an edge in a highly competitive market. This is a great camera to start with if you're just as interested in vlogging as you are regular photography. It's also a super-small, super-cute camera with a wide range of Micro Four Thirds lenses available

Compact cameras
If you really want to save on weight and size, you would be best off investing in a compact camera. Generally, they have smaller sensors than DSLR and mirrorless systems so the image quality won't be quite as good and they won't work as well in low light scenarios but that doesn't mean they can't take great pictures, most of the time. While they do have fixed lenses, lots of them have impressive focal ranges and it means you'll never have to worry about carrying a heavy bag of kit.
The Panasonic Lumix TZ200/ZS200 (opens in new tab) benefits from a larger 1-inch sensor as you would find in many of the best compact cameras (opens in new tab)and it also has a 15x zoom (equivalent to 360mm on a full-frame sensor). You can shoot in JPEG if you want to use the images straight out of the camera or RAW if you prefer to edit your images first. For those who love documenting holidays through video, it can shoot in 4K and it also has a 4K photo mode that can generate 8K images from a burst sequence. If you're looking for versatility, portability and advanced features without the fuss of interchangeable lenses look no further.
Aimed at vloggers, the Sony ZV-1 might just look like another variant from the Sony RX100 range but in reality, it's so much more. If you've used one of the RX100's, the sensor and lens will probably be quite familiar. Where this camera excels is the controls, rear screen and the body. It too has the poplar zoom range of 24-70mm with a variable aperture of f/1.8 - f/2.8. The SteadyShot active stabilization maybe isn't the best but the autofocus is very impressive. It has a vari-angle, rear tilting screen that means it's perfect for recording yourself or taking selfies and it comes with a mic-wind shield which means its audio quality even with the built-in mic is still pretty good. It's a great little compact camera for video and stills photography equally, and delivers good quality.
Despite the Olympus TG-6 (opens in new tab) not having such a big zoom range or sensor, it still deserves a place on this list. Where it lacks in sensor size and zoom range it makes up for in the fact it can withstand water, ice, dust, rain and impacts. If you're likely to be hiking, climbing, swimming, taking part in water sports or other extreme sports, the Olympus TG-6 is probably a better camera for you than your average compact. It can even output Raw photos and 4K video which is pretty rare on the best waterproof cameras (opens in new tab). The sensor might only be 12-megapixels but it can still produce great quality images with little noise. All in all, it's a great camera for the thrill-seeking traveler who needs something more robust and able to take the odd knock or fall.
Canon makes several compact cameras with a 1-inch-size sensor, the G9 X Mark II being the smallest. At 98.0 x 57.9 x 31.3mm and 206g, it’s so compact you really need to hold one to appreciate how small this camera is. This does mean that the rear panel is dominated by the 3-inch screen, so physical buttons are few and they don’t include a typical 4-way navigation dial. The pared-down dimensions also mean you don’t get an electronic viewfinder, but then many EVFs on ultra-compact cameras are very small and uncomfortable to use, so you may not be missing out too much. Another space-saving compromise is the 3x zoom lens. Its f/2 maximum aperture is respectable, but by the 84mm-equivalent max zoom, this has shrunk to a meagre f/4.9. But if you don't mind the limited zoom range, the G9 X is the best travel camera when you want to spend less but still get the image quality of a 1-inch sensor.
Most of us want to travel as light as possible, and the featherweight 242g Cyber-Shot HX99 lets you do just that. It's also amazingly compact at 102.0mm x 58.1mm x 35.5mm, yet somehow Sony has managed to squeeze in a 24-720mm-equivalent zoom lens. Of course this feat is only possible thanks to the use of a small 1/2.3-inch sensor, but Sony’s 18.2MP back-illuminated Exmor R sensor performs well for its size. It just beats rival cameras like Panasonic's TZ95/ZS80 for fine detail capture, and low light performance is also respectable given the titchy sensor. Extras like 4K video and Sony’s very effective Eye AF focus mode help sweeten the deal, as does a built-in EVF. This is very small, however, and you’ll have to pop it up from inside the camera before use, but at least the camera automatically turns itself on in the process, saving you some time.
How we test travel cameras
Want to find out how we test and review (opens in new tab) DSLR and mirrorless cameras? We trial cameras both in real-world shooting scenarios and in carefully controlled lab conditions. Our lab tests will generally measure resolution, dynamic range and signal to noise ratio, which gives us a benchmark by which to compare cameras.
Resolution is measured using ISO resolution charts, dynamic range is measured using DxO Analyzer test equipment and DxO Analyzer is also used for noise analysis across the camera's ISO range. Our compact camera evaluations are based on real-world testing alone.

Tesla reported second quarter vehicle production and delivery numbers on Saturday. The trend of quarter-over-quarter growth finally got broken and year-over-year growth was minimal due to certain supply chain and factory uptime challenges. However, one big positive from the quarter was production in the month of June. Tesla reports that “June 2022 was the highest vehicle production month in Tesla’s history.” That bodes well for quarter number 3.
The unfortunate thing here is that we don’t actually know how many vehicles Tesla produced in June. Tesla never publishes monthly EV sales figures, it didn’t make an exception here, and we have no info on how much higher June production was than the previous best month (or what that month was).
Nonetheless, the figures we typically focus on are the quarterly figures, so let’s not look at those charts.
While there’s a clear drop from Q1 2022 to Q2 2022, the Q2 2022 total was still above Q2 2021 and even Q3 2021.
One interesting thing: while Elon Musk railed against the temporary Fremont factory shutdown at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic (pre-vaccines), I didn’t notice him protesting the Giga Shanghai shutdown in recent months. Let us know if you noticed him offering any scathing criticism of policies on this topic over in Shanghai, China, and especially any public pressure to open up Giga Shanghai ASAP in the midst of the lockdowns. | https://cleantechnica.com/2022/07/04/tesla-sets-vehicle-production-record-in-june/ | 2022-07-04T15:27:31Z | https://cleantechnica.com/2022/07/04/tesla-sets-vehicle-production-record-in-june/ | false | 1 |
World War II-Era Boat Emerges in the Desert as Lake Mead Water Levels Continue Dropping
A sunken boat dating back to World War II is the latest object to emerge from a shrinking reservoir that straddles Nevada and Arizona.
The Higgins landing craft that has long been 185 feet below the surface is now nearly halfway out of the water at Lake Mead.
The boat lies less than a mile from Lake Mead Marina and Hemingway Harbor.
It was used to survey the Colorado River decades ago, sold to the marina and then sunk, according to dive-tour company Las Vegas Scuba.
Higgins Industries in New Orleans built several thousand landing craft between 1942 and 1945, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported. Around 1,500 “Higgins boats” were deployed at Normandy on June 6, 1944, known as D-Day.
The boat is just the latest in a series of objects unearthed by declining water levels in Lake Mead, the largest human-made reservoir in the U.S., held back by the Hoover Dam. In May, two sets of human remains were found in the span of a week.
As water levels drop at both Lake Mead and Lake Powell upstream on the Arizona-Utah line, states in the U.S. West increasingly face deeper cuts to their supply from the Colorado River. The lower levels also impact hydropower produced at Hoover Dam and Glen Canyon Dam, which holds back Lake Powell.
U.S. Bureau of Reclamation Commissioner Camille Touton said last month that the agency would take action to protect the system if the seven states in the Colorado River basin don’t quickly come up with a way to cut the use of up to 4 million acre-feet of water — more than Arizona and Nevada’s share combined.
An acre-foot is about 325,850 gallons. An average household uses one-half to one acre-foot of water a year.
The two states, along with California and Mexico, already have enacted voluntary and mandatory cuts. Water from some reservoirs in the upper basin — Wyoming, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah — has been released to prop up Lake Powell.
Farmers use a majority of the river’s supply.

While growing up in the Midwest, my mother taught English to immigrants from countries such as Laos, China, Mexico, Poland and Palestine. I remember her telling me about their struggles adjusting to a new culture and language. I followed in her footsteps, teaching English in the Czech Republic, where my ancestors immigrated from generations ago.
Since then, I’ve lived in New York City, Los Angeles and Mexico City, learning firsthand the challenges of being a newcomer. In 2013, my wife, who is from Mexico City, and I moved to Richmond.
With this perspective as inspiration, I wrote the personal histories of 22 immigrants to Richmond who are featured in a new book, “Portraits of Immigrant Voices.” Their stories accompany portraits by Colombian artist Alfonso Pérez Acosta. Together, we set out to capture the diversity of these immigrants’ languages and cultures. Yet even with our differences, I’ve learned how much we all have in common, no matter where we are from. We are all Richmonders who want the best for ourselves, our families, our friends and our community.
Here, we present excerpts from four immigrant stories included in “Portraits of Immigrant Voices.” The book is available at Chop Suey Books, and author proceeds will benefit Afghan and Asian refugees who have settled in Virginia through a fund managed by the Asian American Society of Central Virginia.
A World of Opportunities
Brenda Aroche was born and raised in Salamá, a small town in central Guatemala. “Many Latinos in Richmond are Guatemalan, and the majority of them come from the town of Salamá,” she says.
She met her husband, Mainor, in Salamá in 2000 when he returned to Guatemala during a vacation. (He has lived in Virginia since 1993, working on construction projects up and down the East Coast.) Five years later, they got married, and in 2007, she moved to Virginia to join him, although they rarely stayed home. She usually joined him when he traveled for work.
When their daughter, Chelsea, was born in 2012, Aroche stayed home to take care of her while Mainor continued traveling for work. She struggled to adapt to her new city, a new language and a new culture, all while her husband was away. Fortunately, they continued to travel to Guatemala often, which enabled Chelsea to become bilingual and Aroche to keep in touch with family, friends and her culture. As an added benefit, they often spent the winters in Guatemala to escape the cold.
When Chelsea entered first grade, Aroche discovered through social media the Sacred Heart Center, a nonprofit focused on the Latino community in Richmond. She began taking English as a Second Language (ESL) and citizenship preparation classes there. Her classes evolved into her serving as a volunteer to help Latino families. And in July 2019, she became a citizen of the United States. Aroche now works full-time as an administrative assistant at Sacred Heart Center but often serves as a social worker, a profession for which she studied at the University of San Carlos of Guatemala, one of the oldest universities in the Americas.
About being an immigrant, she says, “It’s an emotional challenge to leave your family, your friends, and celebrations in Guatemala. It was very sad initially.”
Yet, she noticed something important. “When I was forced to get out of my comfort zone, I finally decided to start studying English. And then, I discovered a world of opportunities waiting for me. My life changed for the better. I had the feeling of belonging to this society.
“Immigrants make great efforts to improve the lives of their own families. We work hard to adapt to the culture here. We work toward a life of dignity. We want to demonstrate the best of ourselves, manifest our hopes and dreams.”
‘Honorable Princess’
Amira Alsharif was born in Sudan, the African nation just south of Egypt. She speaks English and Arabic. Her first name, Amira, means “princess,” while her last name, Alsharif, translates as “honor.”
She owns and runs two companies. She started Royal Medical Transportation with her husband, Tarig Ahmed, in 2011. They got to know many of their developmentally disabled clients as they shuttled them between homes, group homes and medical facilities. They realized how much demand there was for this clientele for social services and daytime activities.
“I felt some kind of attachment toward most of our clients, to the point that they wouldn’t get in the vehicle unless I was driving that day,” she says. “This led me to think about establishing [another] business offering the same kind of service only better.”
And so, in 2013, her second company became a reality. Future Alliance provides activities, training, and classes for people who are developmentally disabled. She is the CEO and has a staff of nine people.
“This segment of society has the right to live their life like everybody else,” she says. “They have special needs.” So Future Alliance crafts a plan for each person, including social skills, basic life skills training, items to learn, activities and areas to improve upon.
Friends ask Alsharif how she manages two businesses while going to school for her master’s degree, all while raising four children. “It’s all about commitment and the will that you have to achieve something,” she says. “My husband is my helping hand, after God. He always supports me while I go to school and run my businesses at the same time. He helps with the kids. I go to school at night. He makes it easy for me and encourages me to pursue my education.”
She met her husband, who is also Sudanese, in New Jersey while she was visiting her brother. They got married and then moved to Albany, New York, where Tarig had lived previously. They moved to Richmond in 2010.
“I really like the diversity in Richmond,” Alsharif says. “Like in my neighborhood, we have Chinese, Indians, South Americans and Americans, too. When the kids play outside, you see the greatness in this place … the diversity and how people can come from any part of the world and be a part of this country and live in peace.”
Serving His Adopted Country
Maj. Djakaria Konate retired from the U.S. Army in 2019 after 26 years of active service. He was born and raised in Côte d’Ivoire on the West Coast of Africa, a former French colony.
Konate grew up speaking French and Mandingo, a language of the Mandinka or Mandingo people, an ethnic group spread across Western Africa.
He started learning English in middle school but didn’t become fluent until he came to New York City as an exchange student in 1989. He attended New York City College of Technology, taking English as a Second Language (ESL) classes as well as requirements for his associate degree. He juggled a variety of jobs to pay his way through school: hotel housekeeping, messenger and cab driver.
One day on campus, Konate met an army recruiter who explained that the U.S. Army could pay for school, provide a salary and a path to eventually obtain U.S. citizenship. Konate thought it was win-win situation.
“I can serve my host country, I can go to school for free and I love traveling,” he says. Djakaria enlisted, and after he finished that semester, he left New York City to attend basic training in Missouri in January 1993.
He’s been stationed in Missouri, Texas, Colorado, South Korea and North Carolina, and at the Fort Irwin National Training Center in California’s portion of the Mojave Desert. In 2012, he was deployed to Afghanistan. Eventually, he settled down and established his family near Fort Lee. He continued taking classes in the evenings while serving and raising five children with his wife, who is also from Côte d’Ivoire.
New missions or new training sessions interrupted his studies. “It took me almost five years just to get an associate degree because I was constantly moving,” he says. Once he completed his associate degree, he started taking science classes at Virginia Commonwealth University and participated in the Enlisted Commissioning Program (AECP), which allows active-duty soldiers to finish nursing school while retaining their rank, grade and military benefits.
Since then, he has continued to juggle his military and family responsibilities while completing his academic degrees. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing from Hampton University and a master’s degree in emergency and disaster management from Trident University. While in the military, he worked as a combat medic, surgical nurse and respiratory therapist for nearly 12 years, helping wounded soldiers.
“Even though I’ve been in this country forever, I still have that French accent,” he says. “I’m Black. I never changed my name. I had to work twice as hard, discipline myself twice as hard, walk on eggshells to make sure I kept everything in line. I always look towards the end of the tunnel, not the journey in between. I have a goal that I want to achieve.”
Living the American Dream
Mahmud Chowdhury was born in Bangladesh and speaks Bengali, English and a little Spanish.
He came to the U.S. in 1983 with $1,500 in his pocket. He planned to study engineering at the University of Utah, but after one semester, he transferred to the University of Houston and graduated with a degree in electrical engineering. He worked two jobs to pay for school and his living expenses. Career opportunities then took Mahmud to Atlanta and eventually brought him, his wife, Ranu, and their three daughters to Richmond in 2000.
“I came here as an area manager for Fas Mart convenience stores,” he says. “Then, in 2006, I started my real estate business, Freedom 1 Realty, and I also bought a franchise location for Sona MedSpa.”
Chowdhury started with one location of the medical spa and aesthetic clinic and grew the business into five Sona MedSpa locations. In 2013, Mahmud sold all five locations back to the franchiser. Today, he focuses on his real estate business, “appropriately named Freedom 1, because it gave me financial freedom,” he says.
“I have lived and am still living the American dream. But it’s sad to see that path becoming narrower for other immigrants.” —Mahmud Chowdhury
What has he learned from his entrepreneurial experiences? “If you’re honest with yourself and other people, then the American dream is still alive and well,” he says. “It’s getting harder and harder, but you can still pretty much do what you want if you aim straight and stay honest and open with people.”
While still attainable, Chowdhury sees the American Dream as getting more difficult because of xenophobia and racism. “More people, politicians especially, are using ‘divide and conquer’ tactics, pitting one group against another group,” he says.
His experience as an immigrant in the United States had been good up until four years ago. “I’m a Muslim,” he says. “And immigrants, especially Muslims, are becoming victims of political hate from the top leadership of this country. I feel it personally and as a community member. It’s just inexcusable, regardless of party affiliation. Unfortunately, America’s image has been tarnished. Whether Republican or Democrat, it should not be like that.
“I have lived and am still living the American dream,” he says. “But it’s sad to see that path becoming narrower for other immigrants. Virginia is a good place to live. Most people are welcoming, and Virginia is for lovers. There is a reason for it. But we need to keep that slogan alive.” | https://richmondmagazine.com/news/features/hear-my-voice/ | 2022-07-04T15:32:56Z | https://richmondmagazine.com/news/features/hear-my-voice/ | false | 1 |
Tanzania signs $900 mln railway construction deal with Turkish firm
DAR ES SALAAM, July 4 (Reuters) - Tanzania said on Monday it had signed an agreement with a Turkish firm, Yapi Merkezi, to build a $900 million modern railway line as part of the country's efforts to upgrade transportation links and boost trade with its neighbours.
The 165-kilometer line which will connect two towns in northwest Tanzania is part of a bigger 1,219-kilometer rail project Tanzania has been implementing in phases, to connect commercial capital Dar es Salaam on the Indian Ocean to Mwanza on Lake Victoria.
At the signing ceremony in Dar es Salaam, Masanja Kadogosa, the Director General of Tanzania Railway Corporation (TRC) said the 165-kilometer line would cost $900.1 million. It will be built within 42 months including six months of testing, he said.
Once the new section is completed, it will bring Tanzania's total investment in the whole modern rail line project to 16.7 trillion shillings ($7.17 billion), he said.
The new section is the fourth of five that will comprise the full line. The fifth section, stretching over 341 kilometres, is being developed by two Chinese companies, China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation and China Railway Construction Limited, for $1.32 billion.
The government of President Samia Suluhu Hassan has been pushing to complete big transportation infrastructure projects initiated by her late predecessor John Magufuli to boost trade with neighbours Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and Democratic Republic of Congo.

Tullow Ghana Limited (Tullow), operator of the offshore Jubilee and TEN fields, has awarded a 5-year contract to Petrofac Ghana (Petrofac) to support Operations and Maintenance activities on the FPSO Kwame Nkrumah (KNK).
Petrofac is the largest amongst a number of companies, all of which are either indigenous Ghanaian firms or local joint ventures, which will assume the Operations and Maintenance (O&M) of the KNK FPSO following the expiry of Tullow’s contract with MODEC Production Services Ghana JV Ltd (MODEC) which ended on 30th June 2022.
Tullow as the field operator remains accountable for the safe and reliable operations in Jubilee, including the KNK FPSO.
The transition of the management of the KNK, prompted by the expiry of the MODEC contract, forms part of Tullow’s long-term vision to become a top-quartile production company in terms of safe operations, emissions control, increased reliability, and cost-efficiency.
The transition is expected to deliver improved safety performance, reduced operating costs and sustained production efficiency.
Commenting on the new partnership with Petrofac, Tullow Chief Executive Officer, Rahul Dhir said: “this new partnership with Petrofac will leverage Petrofac’s years of experience in operating onshore and offshore facilities and will deliver improved operations on KNK. In particular, Petrofac’s experience in workforce training will be key in helping Tullow develop Ghanaian talent in leadership roles in the management of Ghana’s offshore facilities. As we embark on this change, I want to thank MODEC for the support they have provided us over the last twelve years.”
Nick Shorten, Chief Operating Officer for Petrofac’s Asset Solutions business, said: “I’m delighted that we are continuing to grow our presence in Africa with valued long-term partner Tullow Oil.

Kylie Jenner’s ‘self-discipline’ parenting lets Stormi pick her bedtime – an expert reveals if it’s as bad as it sounds
KYLIE Jenner and Travis Scott have raised some eyebrows with their "self-discipline" method for raising their two kids.
Travis explained their seemingly liberal approach, with appears to put choices – including bedtime – into their children's hands.
Kylie and Travis are parents to four-year-old daughter Stormi and a four-month-old son.
In a CR Men interview in September 2021, Travis revealed that they gave their toddler Stormi quite a bit of independence.
“We try to do a more natural vibe [with parenting], like more self-discipline," he said.
"Like, ‘Okay, you know you got to go to bed at nine, are you going to stay up till 11 or are you going to go to sleep now?’ And it’s so cool [to hear her say], ‘I’m going to sleep ya’ll!'”
Here Kirsty Ketley, 41, from Surrey, UK – a parenting consultant at Auntie K's Childcare and mom to Ella, 9, and Leo, 5 – gives her view...
At first glance, taking the “self-discipline” approach may not seem that great an idea.
Travis was quoted as saying that their method includes asking Stormi when she wants to go to bed, for example, leaving her to make the decision between going to sleep at bedtime or staying up later.
Stormi apparently chooses bedtime, and parents everywhere will be in awe that she so happily chooses to go to bed at the right time.

We all know that toddlers just love to choose bedtime as the time to tell you about their day, ask for a drink, make another trip to the toilet, or pick that exact moment to find their favorite toy to sleep with (the one that has been missing for months).
So, is there actually something in teaching your child self-discipline? Let’s take a look.
THE PROS
Teaching “self-discipline” is all about teaching your child how to control themselves.
Children who learn self-discipline will be better equipped for life: they will be able to face life’s challenges head-on, manage stress, and make healthy choices when you are not around.
From choosing to turn off to TV or games console to do their homework to resisting the temptation to sneak snacks after mom has said no, self-discipline can help kids become responsible adults.
When there is a lack of self-discipline, parents end up taking more responsibility for their child’s behavior.
This can lead parents not only to become nags, but to end up doing more for their children.
THE CONS
Some children may not suit a self-discipline approach. They find it hard to ever be spontaneous, and they may end up always needing to be in control.
This can impact them as they go through life when things happen out of the blue or when they need to allow someone else to take the lead.
And of course, self-discipline may not work for parents who like to be in control – so if you’re a mom or dad who likes things done exactly how you like it and when you like it, you might find it hard to implement self-discipline in your child.
My advice? Strike a balance. Encouraging children to be independent and think for themselves is important, but it’s also important they don’t feel under pressure to make the right choices all the time – and it’s ok if you sometimes step in to take the lead.
THE RIGHT WAY TO USE THE METHOD
First, have some structure. Kids thrive on the predictability of routine, so make sure that you create a similar schedule every day.
This way they know what they should be doing and when they should be doing it.
Next, telling a kid “because I said so” isn’t helpful. Kids respond better when they understand why, so give them a good reason for getting their homework done now.
Having an underlying reason for your rules will make them more likely to understand that your rules serve a purpose.
If they're not doing what they need to do, natural consequences can be a great life lesson.
For example, next time your child forgets their homework, try not to rush to school to help stop them from facing the consequences.
Instead, find ways to make sure that they can’t forget their things, like by setting up a bag station by the door and having them pack their bag the night before.
If you need to make the consequences yourself, let your child know what they will be in advance so they can make a choice. The key is to ensure that you follow through on your consequences and are consistent.
On the flip side, when your child demonstrates good self-discipline, make sure you acknowledge it. Getting praised for making good choices increases the likelihood of your child doing it again.
Finally, be a good role model. Kids are always watching and learning from their parents, so make sure that you make it a priority to model self-discipline. | https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/19087704/kylie-jenner-self-discipline-parenting-style-stormi-travis/ | 2022-07-04T15:40:37Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/19087704/kylie-jenner-self-discipline-parenting-style-stormi-travis/ | false | 4 |
Christian Pulisic has a big summer ahead of him as the USMNT star will be thinking long and hard about his future at club level.
Should he stay at Chelsea? Should he leave? Where should he go?
[ MORE: 2022-23 Premier League schedule ]
The latest report on his situation is from The Daily Mail, as they say Christian Pulisic wants to stay at Chelsea despite interest in him from Juventus. Per the report, Pulisic is not keen on a move to Juve.
This follows a report on his future from The Daily Telegraph, as they said that Chelsea have offered Juventus one of Pulisic and Timo Werner, plus cash, for Matthijs de Ligt.
Of course, USMNT fans will be hoping whatever happens with Christian Pulisic at Chelsea will be best for the U.S. ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
[ TRANSFER NEWS: Liverpool | Chelsea | Tottenham | Man United | Man City | Arsenal ]
But there is no way of knowing what will be best for his future and this summer is a really big moment in his career.
USMNT star will have plenty of options
Look, it’s clear that Chelsea seem pretty keen to freshen up their attack and are okay with moving on from Pulisic this summer.
Pulisic has scored big goals and won big trophies at Chelsea over the last three seasons but his injury record is concerning and he doesn’t really suit Thomas Tuchel’s 3-4-2-1 system as the German coach prefers narrow attackers and Pulisic is a true winger.
Whether or not Chelsea’s new American owners will sell him — he has two years left on his contract so his transfer value will only diminish after this summer, if he doesn’t sign a new deal — remains to be seen but plenty of clubs will want to pick up the USMNT star. His talent is undoubted.
With Raheem Sterling, Raphinha and Ousmane Dembele all linked with moves to Chelsea, all three of those players play in very similar positions to Pulisic. It doesn’t look great for his future at Chelsea.
Tuchel likes Pulisic, a lot, but he’s admitted that he sees him as a player who can have a real impact off the bench and often uses him in that role. If Pulisic stays at Chelsea next season and they do sign two of Sterling, Dembele and Raphinha, the competition in his role will be huge. Five subs will be allowed per game in the Premier League from next season but Pulisic definitely wants more than a bit-part role at a top team.
Will he get that at Chelsea? Maybe not.
Where should he go?
If he does fancy a move then heading to Turin to play for Juve isn’t an awful idea. It may not be the best move for his career, but it may not be the worse and it could be a lot better than warming the bench at Chelsea.
Juventus are in the UEFA Champions League, his close friend Weston McKennie is relied on heavily in midfield (USMNT fans are salivating over the idea that they could combine week in, week out in Italy) and Juve’s attacking options aren’t as plentiful as Chelsea’s. He would battle with the returning Federico Chiesa for playing time but Juventus have offloaded plenty of attacking stars this summer with Federico Bernardeschi and Paulo Dybala both leaving. This could be a good opportunity for him to be a main man at a top European team.
Pulisic seems like he needs a fresh start somewhere and at 23 years of age (he turns 24 in September) he still has the prime of his career ahead of him. He can’t waste his prime sitting on a bench or playing for a manager who doesn’t fully believe in him.
He will have options in Italy, Spain, Germany and in the Premier League but above all else he needs to play for a team which suits his style of play best and for a manager who will play him regularly.
The fact Chelsea are offering him to other clubs tells us all, including Pulisic, that it is time to move on. But perhaps the Pennsylvanian native wants to wait until after the World Cup to make that move. It’s a tough decision. | https://soccer.nbcsports.com/2022/07/04/christian-pulisic-transfer-news-chelsea-juventus/ | 2022-07-04T15:43:29Z | https://soccer.nbcsports.com/2022/07/04/christian-pulisic-transfer-news-chelsea-juventus/ | false | 5 |

LONDON (AP) — Germany and Ireland have condemned the U.K government’s move towards unilaterally rewriting parts of the post-Brexit deal with the European Union.
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock and Irish counterpart Simon Coveney said there was “no legal or political justification” for overriding the agreed trade rules in Northern Ireland.
Writing in British newspaper The Observer on Sunday, the ministers say Britain will be breaking an international agreement just two years old which it hadn’t engaged in with “good faith.”
The so-called Northern Ireland Protocol within the deal maintains an open border with EU member Ireland and free of customs posts.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s administration wants to remove the checks on goods such as meat and eggs arriving in Northern Ireland from the rest of the U.K., which protect the European Union’s single market.
Lawmakers in London passed legislation which permits the move last week.
Johnson’s critics, opponents and some members of his own party, along with European observers, have said the plan breaks international law. The government argues it is justified because of the “genuinely exceptional situation.”
Baerbock and Coveney said the bill wouldn’t fix the “challenges” around the protocol.
“Instead, it will create a new set of uncertainties and make it more challenging to find durable solutions,” they wrote.
The foreign ministers also argued the move jeopardizes peace in Northern Ireland under the Good Friday Agreement, which helped end decades of sectarian violence and has stood since 1998.
Johnson’s government has hoped to pass the legislation, which will be debated again in Parliament on July 13 by the time its summer break begins later in the month. This could see it become law by the end of 2022.
The EU has threatened to retaliate against the U.K. if it goes ahead, raising the prospect of a trade war between the two major economic partners.
Separately, Irish Deputy Prime Minister Leo Varadkar told the BBC on Sunday it wasn’t “appropriate or right” time for a poll on Irish reunification.
Varadkar said such a referendum, permitted under the Good Friday Agreement when a majority in Northern Ireland in favor of a united Ireland is considered “likely,” would be “divisive and defeated” at the moment.
The Northern Ireland Assembly, its devolved legislature, has been paralyzed for months over the implementation of the protocol, leaving it without a regional government. | https://www.wcia.com/news/business/ap-business/germany-ireland-slam-uk-move-toward-overriding-brexit-deal/ | 2022-07-04T15:56:23Z | https://www.wcia.com/news/business/ap-business/germany-ireland-slam-uk-move-toward-overriding-brexit-deal/ | true | 22 |

MIAMI — As the Angels season has slipped away, revealing one problem after another, Luis Rengifo is doing all he can to show that he’s not one of them.
The 25-year-old infielder has teased the Angels with his tools for years, but lately he’s been providing reason to believe that perhaps he can be a part of the solution.
Over his last 57 plate appearances, Rengifo is hitting .309 with three homers and an .897 OPS.
That hot stretch has raised his season numbers to .241 with a .685 OPS, which doesn’t sound like much but it is almost exactly the major league average (.244 and .687) for a middle infielder. Against lefties, the switch-hitting Rengifo has a .294 average and .895 OPS.
Angels third base coach Mike Gallego has watched Rengifo progress ever since the Angels acquired him in a spring training trade in 2018.
“The main thing is he’s playing with a lot more confidence,” said Gallego, who was the farm director when Rengifo joined the organization. “This is something that we were hoping for, and there’s a lot of people in the organization that have stuck behind him.”
Rengifo explained he was just as frustrated as everyone else with his inconsistency.
“I didn’t want to hit .200,” he said. “I put the goal in my mind that I have to be better. Right now, I’m feeling it.”
Manager Phil Nevin said it starts with Rengifo’s plate discipline, which has improved even since spring training.
“His swing decisions are so much better today than they were in the past,” Nevin said. “He’s swinging at a lot of strikes.”
He’s also getting the bat on those strikes.
On a team that leads the major leagues in strikeouts, Rengifo has the lowest strikeout rate (16.6%) among anyone with 50 plate appearances. When they struck out a major-league record 20 times on Sunday, Rengifo was the only starter who didn’t strike out at least twice. He also hit a homer to provide one of the Angels’ two runs.
“My pitch selection is better now,” Rengifo said. “I feel a lot more comfortable.”
He’s also improving defensively, enough that the Angels are comfortable enough to now have him as their regular shortstop. He had been playing second, but they promoted Michael Stefanic to play second, which will move Rengifo to short.
Gallego, the Angels’ infield coach before he moved to third base coach, said he believed that Rengifo could be a big league shortstop when he first saw him in 2018.
One of his major hurdles was mental errors, and Gallego said he’s been getting better, to the point that they now trust him to overrule the analytics when it comes to defensive positioning.
“He’s taking pride in his positioning,” Gallego said. “He’s owning it. He’s actually communicating. Benji (Gil) and I will look at him, and we want him in a certain spot and he’ll say ‘I see a different swing happening. I’m going to stay right here.’ And we’re like, ‘OK, if you see it, we trust you.’
“That’s what you’re hoping for from these young kids. And that’s exactly what he’s developing out there.”
If Rengifo could develop into an everyday player, it would be the culmination of a journey that has included plenty of peaks and valleys since the Seattle Mariners signed him out of Venezuela.
He was traded to the Rays, and then to the Angels for C.J. Cron in the spring of 2018. Since then he’s bounced between Triple-A and the majors, performing inconsistently but always providing reason for optimism because of his talent.
The Dodgers and Cleveland both wanted him in trades that fell through over the past few years.
This spring the Angels went into camp with David Fletcher at one middle infield spot and a competition at the other including five players: Tyler Wade, Andrew Velazquez, Matt Duffy, Stefanic and Rengifo. Although each of them had different strengths and weaknesses, the consensus was that none of them had the overall tools and ceiling of Rengifo.
When Rengifo struggled in the spring and was sent back to Triple-A, it was another speed bump in his development.
Rengifo insisted that he never felt the ticking clock of his career as he struggled to reach his potential.
“No pressure,” Rengifo said. “Just play the game. Have fun and do your job. That’s all you have to do.”
